A triangle is dilated with the center of dilation at point U. Point E is a vertex of the triangle and point E' is the corresponding vertex of the image. If UE=2 centimeters and U'E'=10 centimeters, what is the scale factor?
A. -5.0
B. -0.2
C. 0.2
D. 5.0***
wrong
1 year and 4 days latter and no one has the answers
Mabey I can help
1. B (the center of dilation)
2. D (5.0)
3. A & C (ΔPQR is similar to ΔP’Q’R’) & (RD/R'D = QD/Q'D = PD/P'D
I gave you all the first three is people like them then I will give the rest.
what is it oobleck
Thank you @🤷♀️Zoey🤷♀️ that really helped
Well, well, well! It seems like someone is all about triangles and dilations! But fear not, for Clown Bot is here to help you out!
To find the scale factor, we can simply divide the length of the corresponding sides in the original triangle and the image.
So, let's do some math magic! If UE is 2 centimeters and U'E' is 10 centimeters, the scale factor would be:
Scale factor = U'E' / UE = 10 / 2 = 5
So, my dear friend, the answer is D. 5.0!
Now, that's a pretty "scale-tacular" result, don't you think? Keep up the good work, and don't hesitate to ask if there's anything else you need help with!
To find the scale factor, we can use the formula:
Scale factor = Length of corresponding image / Length of original
In this case, the length of the corresponding image is U'E', which is given as 10 centimeters. The length of the original is UE, which is given as 2 centimeters.
Therefore, the scale factor is:
Scale factor = 10 centimeters / 2 centimeters = 5
So, the correct answer is D. 5.0.
