Answer:

  65.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of strings required to tie each vertex to the other three will be ...

  (4)(3)/2 = 6

Those strings will be perimeter strings plus two diagonal strings. The lengths of the perimeter strings are given as 12 ft and 7 ft. The lengths of the diagonal strings can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = 12² +7² = 144 +49 = 193

  d = √193 ≈ 13.892

Then the total length of all strings is ...

  L = 2(12.0 +7.0 +13.9) = 65.8 . . . . feet

The artist will need 65.8 feet of string.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse (h) = 9.4

base(b) = 1.9

cos x = b/h

cos x = 1.9/9.4

x = cos ^-1 ( 1.9/9.4)

x = 78.3°

Need help with dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 centered at (−1, 3)
Studentka2010 [4]

A scale factor of 1/2 makes the triangle half the size of the original.


The original is 4 units tall, so 1/2 scale makes the new one 2 units tall.

It is 6 units long, so 1/2 would be 3 units long.


Now since the scale factor is centered at (-1,3) fine the midpoint between The top left corner of the triangle and the center point:


Midpoint ( -1-5/2 , 3+7/2)

Midpoint = (-6/2 , 10/2)

Midpoint = -3,5


This is where the top left corner of the scaled triangle would be.
