By the word "dilation" we mean to say that the dimension of the new triangle is 6 times longer than the dimensions of the former triangle. The ratio between the area of the new triangle and the old one is equal to the square of the ratio of their sides. If we let x be the area of the larger triangle then,
(x / 2/3 cm²) = (6/1)²
The value of x from the equation is 24. Thus, the area of the larger triangle is equal to 24 cm².
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
13x-2 = 10x-2
Subtract 10x from each side
13x-10x-2 = 10x-2 -10x
3x-2 = -2
Add 2 for each side
3x-2+2 = -2+2
3x= 0
divide by 3
3x/3 = 0/3
x =0
As scientists conduct their research, they make observations and collect data. The observations and data often lead them to ask why something is the way it is. Scientists pursue answers to these questions in order to continue with their research.
