Answer:
A (0,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given trapezoid has vertices:
(0,6), (7,12), (7,9) and (0,12).
We want to choose from the given options, a point that is a vertex for the image produced by a dilation about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.
Note that the mapping for such a dilation is:
This implies that:
Therefore correct choice is (0,3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Triangles</u>
By looking at the construction of the figure, we can safely assume both triangles are similar, i.e. their internal angles are equal and their sides are proportional. Following the proportion of the heights and bases of both triangles we can set this relationship:
Simplifying both fractions
Solving for x
