The distance between points S' and S is x= 2.5 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ 2. 25.

Point Q is the center of dilation.

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S prime T prime.

The length of QT is 1. 2 and the length of QS is 2.

The length of SS prime is x and the length of TT prime is 1. 5.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is x, the distance between points S' and S?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ, 2.25.

Also, SQ = 2 units, TQ = 1.2 units, TT'=1.5, SS' = x.

Since the line ST is dilated to S'T' with the center of dilation Q, the triangles STQ and S'T'Q must be similar.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

So, from ΔSTQ and ΔS'T'Q.

\dfrac{SQ}{S'Q} = \dfrac{TQ}{T'Q}\\&#10;\\&#10;\dfrac{SQ}{SQ+SS} = \dfrac{TQ}{TQ+TT'}\\&#10;\\ &#10;\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{1.2+1.5}\\\rm &#10;\\&#10;\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{2.7}\\\\ \dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{12}{27}\\\\2(27) = (2+x) 12\\\\ 54 = 24 + 12x\\&#10;\\&#10;12x = 54-24\\&#10;\\&#10;12x=30\\&#10;\\&#10;x = \dfrac{30}{12}\\&#10;\\&#10;x = 2.5

Hence, the distance between points S' and S is x= 2.5 units.

The least common multiple of two numbers is 40. The difference of the two numbers is 2.
Ulleksa [173]
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. So therefore, the numbers would be 2 and 4.
