Triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of One-half. The image, triangle R'S'T', is an isosceles triangle, with each leg meas

uring 8 units.
Point Q is the center of dilation. Isosceles triangle R S T was dilated to smaller triangle R prime S prime T prime. Sides R S and R T are 8 units long.

What is the length of a leg of the pre-image, triangle RST?

4 units
8 units
16 units
20 units

Answer:

The length side of the pre-image is 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length side of the image is equal to the length side of the pre-image multiplied by the scale factor

or

The length side of the pre-image is equal to the length side of the image divided by the scale factor

in this problem we have that

The scale factor is 1/2

The length side of the image is 8 units

therefore

8/(1/2)=16 units

The length side of the pre-image is 16 units

Peter wants to fence the park in front of his home on three sides which measure 152m 40cm, 205m 10cm, 310m 39cm. What is the tot
Tpy6a [65]

One centimenter is 0.01 meters. So, you can write the measures as

152.40\text{m},\quad 205.10\text{m},\quad 310.39\text{m}

Once this rewriting is done, getting the total length T is quite trivial, since all measurements are in the same unit, and we can simply sum everything:

T = 152.40+205.10+310.39 = 667.89

In the figure at right, it is given than BDC is straight, BD = DA, and AB = AC = DC. Find the size of angle C
Ilya [14]
You need to use the angle sum of  a triangle in triangle CAD to express y in term of x
for triangla CAD , y = (180 -x) /2
180 = 3x + [ (180-x)/2]

x = 36

hope this helps

Given that line s is perpendicular to line t, which statements must be true of the two lines? Check all that apply.
artcher [175]
The basis to respond this question are:

1) Perpedicular lines form a 90° angle between them.

2) The product of the slopes of two any perpendicular lines is - 1.

So, from that basic knowledge you can analyze each option:

<span>a.Lines s and t have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

TRUE. Tha comes the number 2 basic condition for the perpendicular lines.

slope_1 * slope_2 = - 1 => slope_1 = - 1 / slope_2, which is what opposite reciprocals means.

b.Lines s and t have the same slope.

FALSE. We have already stated the the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

c.The product of the slopes of s and t is equal to -1

TRUE: that is one of the basic statements that you need to know and handle.

d.The lines have the same steepness.

FALSE: the slope is a measure of steepness, so they have different steepness.

e.The lines have different y intercepts.

FALSE: the y intercepts may be equal or different. For example y = x + 2 and y = -x + 2 are perpendicular and both have the same y intercept, 2.

f.The lines never intersect.

FALSE: perpendicular lines always intersept (in a 90° angle).

g.The intersection of s and t forms right angle.

TRUE: right angle = 90°.

h.If the slope of s is 6, the slope of t is -6

FALSE. - 6 is not the opposite reciprocal of 6. The opposite reciprocal of 6 is - 1/6.

So, the right choices are a, c and g.
