We want to draw a conclusion about the scale factor for the dilation shown by only watching the given graph, the only conclusion we can take is that a scale factor is a number between 0 and 1. So we have a transformation that transforms the triangle ABC into the triangle A'B'C'.You can see that it is a dilation about the black dot seen in the given image, if the scale factor was a number larger than 1, then the dilated points would be further away from the black dot. But that is not the case, we can see that the images of the dilation are closer to the black dot, then this is not a "real" dilation, this is actually a contraction (where a contraction is a "dilation" of scale factor between zero and 1). Then the only thing that we can conclude with the given image is that the scale factor of the dilation shown is a number larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

Answer:

40 coins in each piggy bank

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the coins together.

95 pennies+ 13 nickels+ 41 dimes+ 11 quarters=160 coins

Divide the number of coins by 4.

160 coins divided by 4 piggy banks= 40 coins in each piggy bank

I hope this helps ;)

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach point D from point C, you need to add 4 to the x-value of point C and take away 6 from the y-value. These numbers are the sides of the hypothetical triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . If we plug the side lengths in for a and b, we get $4^2 + 6^2 = c^2$ . This can be simplified to $16+36=c^2$ , or $52 = c^2$ . If we root both sides, we find that c is equal to $\sqrt{52}$ , which is slightly more than 7, at around 7.2.
