<h3>
Answer:</h3>
A. 28
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We assume m is the measure of the marked unknown angles: ∠BZY ≅ ∠BZA
(5x +3)° = (2x +18)°
Divide by ° and subtract 2x+3:
... 3x = 15
... x = 5
Then ∠BZA = (2·5 +18)° = m = 28°
The given equations are:
1) 2y = -x + 9
⇒ x = 9-2y
2) 3x - 6y = -15
⇒3x = 6y - 15
x = 2y - 5
Equating the values of x, we get:
9 - 2y = 2y - 5
9 + 5 = 4y
14 = 4y
y = 3.5
Using this value of y in equation 1 we get:
x = 9 - 2(3.5) = 2
So, the solution set is (2, 3.5)
Answer:
Area of the given figure is 51.5 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle OCBH = Length × width
= 11 × 8
= 88 square units
Area of trapezoid OGEF = 
= 
= 
= 18 units²
Area of trapezoid GCDE = 
= 
= 13.5 units²
Area of triangle AFH = 
= 
= 5 units²
Area of polygon ABCDEF = Area of rectangle CBHO - (Area of trapezoid OGEF + Area of trapezoid GCDE + Area of triangle AFH)
= 88 - (18 + 13.5 + 5)
= 88 - 36.5
= 51.5 units²
Therefore, area of the given polygon is 51.5 units²
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
