Can't see the question :/
Answer:
The length is 2.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we find the value of the length of the side, we need the measure of the coordinates after dilation
B’ = 1/2 B = 1/2(3,2) = (1.5, 1)
C’ = 1/2 C = 1/2( 0,-2) = (0,-1)
The measure of the length is the distance between the two points
Mathematically, that would be;
D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
D = √(0-1.5)^2 + (-1-1)^2
D = √(2.25 + 4)
D = √6.25
D = 2.5 units

Answer:
<h2>64.26 cm².</h2>
Explanation is given in the above photo.
Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
