Answer:

9.6 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔBAC is similar to ΔEDF, and that the area of ΔBAC is 15 inches. And we want to determine the area of ΔDEF.

First, find the scale factor <em>k</em> from ΔBAC to ΔDEF:

\displaystyle 5 k = 4

Solve for the scale factor <em>k: </em>

<em />\displaystyle k = \frac{4}{5}<em />

<em />

Recall that to scale areas, we square the scale factor.

In other words, since the scale factor for sides from ΔBAC to ΔDEF is 4/5, the scale factor for its area will be (4/5)² or 16/25.

Hence, the area of ΔEDF is:

\displaystyle \Delta EDF = \frac{16}{25}\left(15\right) = 9.6\text{ in}^2

In conclusion, the area of ΔEDF is 9.6 square inches.

U = (-2,3)

V = (3,0)

midpoint of UV

= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )

= ( 1/2 , 3/2)

= ( 0.5 , 1.5)

X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]

midpoint of UV = X

W= (-2,-3)

V =( 3.0)

Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )

= (0.5 , - 1.5)

Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]

Y is the midpoint of WV

by midpoint theorem ,

UW = 2( XY )

Determine the amplitude or period as requested. Period of a y = - 1/3 * sin x - 1/3 pi/3 1/3 d 2pi
zysi [14]

Answer:

Period = 2\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = -\frac{1}{3} * \sin(x - \frac{1}{3})

Required

Determine the period

A sine function is represented as:

y =A \sin(Bx + C) + D

Where

Period = \frac{2\pi}{B}

By comparing:

y =A \sin(Bx + C) + D and y = -\frac{1}{3} * \sin(x - \frac{1}{3})

Bx = x

So:

B = 1

So, we have:

Period = \frac{2\pi}{B}

Period = \frac{2\pi}{1}

Period = 2\pi

Hence, the period of the function is 2\pi
