A dilation with a scale factor of 2 is applied to the three line segments shown. The resulting images are P′Q′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, A′B′¯¯¯¯¯

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to determine the scale factor,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}$

2 = $\frac{P'Q'}{PQ}$

2 = $\frac{P'Q'}{2}$

P'Q' = 4 cm

Similarly, for the length of A'B',

2 = $\frac{A'B'}{AB}$

2 = $\frac{A'B'}{1.5}$

A'B' = 3 cm

For the length of M'N',

2 = $\frac{M'N'}{MN}$

2 = $\frac{M'N'}{3}$

M'N' = 6 cm

Five adult tickets and three child tickets for a movie costs £55. The cost of buying two adult tickets and three child tickets i

Allisa [31]

Answer:

adult £8
child £5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the numbers you are given, you see that the first purchase has 3 more adult tickets than the second purchase, and its cost is £24 more. This means an adult ticket costs £24/3 = £8.

Two adult tickets will cost 2×£8 = £16, so three child tickets cost ...

£31 -16 = £15

Each child ticket is then £15/3 = £5.

An adult ticket costs £8; a child ticket costs £5.

Given A(3, 4), B(4, 3) and C(2, 1), what are the coordinates of C', the image of C under a rotation of 90 degrees about the orig

Aleks [24]

<u>Given</u>:

The coordinates of the points A, B and C are (3,4), (4,3) and (2,1)

The points are rotated 90° about the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the point C'.

<u>Coordinates of the point C':</u>

The general rule to rotate the point 90° about the origin is given by

$(x, y) \Rightarrow(-y, x)$

Substituting the coordinates of the point C in the above formula, we get;

$(2, 1) \Rightarrow(-1, 2)$

Therefore, the coordinates of the point C' is (-1,2)
