Answer:

The scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation of a point about the origin with scale factor k is defined as

$P(x,y)\rightarrow P'(kx,ky)$ ..... (1)

It means the scale factor is calculated as

$k=\frac{\text{x coordinate of image}}{\text{x coordinate of preimage}}$

The given dilation is defined as

$(10,0)\rightarrow (5,0)$ ..... (2)

From (1) and (2) we get,

x coordinate of image = 5

x coordinate of preimage = 10

$k=\frac{5}{10}$

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Juan put three square tiles with sides 8 centimeters, 10 centimeters, and x centimeters together so that they form a right trian

Elan Coil [88]

Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to $x^{2}$ .
$A = x^{2}$ ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the $x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2$ ---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
$x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2}$ substitute this value in equation (1) then
$A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}$
where A is the area of the square whose side is x

Jack has a 8-ft long board. he cut off 1/6 of it how long is the remaining piece in feet and inches

mars1129 [50]

First, let's find out the equivalent amount of one-sixth of the total length of 8 ft.

Length of cut = 8(1/6) = 4/3 ft

So, the remaining length would be:
Remaining length = 8 ft - 4/3 ft = 20/3 ft or that's 6 and 2/3 ft.

Since there are 12 inches in 1 ft:
2/3 ft * 12 in/ft = 8 inches

Thus, the remaining length is 6 ft and 8 inches.

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is $\sqrt{18}$ or in simplified terms, 3 $\sqrt{2}$

The gas tank of a car is filled with a nozzle that discharges gasoline at a constant flow rate. Based on unit considerations of

Cloud [144]

Answer:

It is going 84.12s = 1 minute and 24.12 seconds to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The filling time of a gas tank can be given by a first order function in this format:

$F(t) = V - r*t$

In which $F(t)$ is the current amount of fuel in the tank(in L), $V$ is the volume of the tank(in L), $r$ is the discharge rate of the tank(in L/s) and t is the time in seconds.

Finding the values of the parameters:

The tank is completly empty, so $F(t) = 0$ .

The volume of the tank is 14 gallons. However, the problem states that the volume of the tank is measured in liters.

Each gallon has 3.78L.

So $V = 14*3.78 = 53L$

The discharge rate for the gas is 38.0 l/min. However, the problem states that the discharge rate is in L/s. So, to find the value of r, we solve the following rule of three.

38 L - 60s

r L - 1s

$60r = 38$
