Lindsegment, ab has endpoints. A. -6, 4 and B.-8, 2. Find the coordinates of a and b after the dialation with a scale factor of 1/2 Centered at the origin
To perform a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 centered at the origin, we need to multiply the coordinates of each point by 1/2.
For point A (-6, 4), we multiply each coordinate by 1/2:
A' = (-6 * 1/2, 4 * 1/2)
A' = (-3, 2)
Similarly, for point B (-8, 2), we multiply each coordinate by 1/2:
B' = (-8 * 1/2, 2 * 1/2)
B' = (-4, 1)
Therefore, the coordinates of point A after the dilation are (-3, 2), and the coordinates of point B after the dilation are (-4, 1).
Determine the skill factor used in the dilation of segment AB centered at the origin.
The image shows A. 6,9 B.12,3 and another A.2,3 and B 4, 1
To determine the scale factor used in the dilation of segment AB, we need to compare the lengths of the original segment AB and the dilated segment A'B'.
Let's find the length of the original segment AB first:
AB = sqrt((12-6)^2 + (3-9)^2) = sqrt(36 + 36) = sqrt(72)
Now, let's find the length of the dilated segment A'B':
A'B' = sqrt((4-2)^2 + (1-3)^2) = sqrt(4 + 4) = sqrt(8) = 2 * sqrt(2)
To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the dilated segment by the length of the original segment:
Scale factor = A'B' / AB = (2 * sqrt(2)) / sqrt(72)
To simplify this expression, we multiply the numerator and denominator by sqrt(72):
Scale factor = (2 * sqrt(2)) / sqrt(72) * (sqrt(72) / sqrt(72))
Scale factor = (2 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(72)) / sqrt(72)^2
Scale factor = (2 * sqrt(2) * 6 * sqrt(2)) / 72
Scale factor = 12 / 72
Scale factor = 1 / 6
Therefore, the scale factor used in the dilation of segment AB (centered at the origin) is 1/6.
Incorrect
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate.
For the original segment AB, we have:
A: (6, 9)
B: (12, 3)
To find the scale factor used in the dilation, we need to compare the change in the x-coordinates and the change in the y-coordinates between the original and dilated segments.
Change in x-coordinates:
Δx = 12 - 6 = 6
Change in y-coordinates:
Δy = 3 - 9 = -6
Now, let's consider the dilated segment A'B':
A': (2, 3)
B': (4, 1)
Change in x-coordinates:
Δx' = 4 - 2 = 2
Change in y-coordinates:
Δy' = 1 - 3 = -2
The scale factor can be found by comparing the changes in the x and y-coordinates:
Scale factor = Δx' / Δx = 2 / 6 = 1 / 3
Therefore, the scale factor used in the dilation of segment AB (centered at the origin) is 1/3.
No
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try calculating the scale factor again with the given points.
For the original segment AB, we have:
A: (2, 3)
B: (4, 1)
To find the scale factor used in the dilation, we need to compare the change in the x-coordinates and the change in the y-coordinates between the original and dilated segments.
Change in x-coordinates:
Δx = 4 - 2 = 2
Change in y-coordinates:
Δy = 1 - 3 = -2
Now, let's consider the dilated segment A'B':
A': (6, 9)
B': (12, 3)
Change in x-coordinates:
Δx' = 12 - 6 = 6
Change in y-coordinates:
Δy' = 3 - 9 = -6
The scale factor can be found by comparing the changes in the x and y-coordinates:
Scale factor = Δx' / Δx = 6 / 2 = 3
Therefore, the scale factor used in the dilation of segment AB (centered at the origin) is 3.
What is the scale factor of a single dialation between the pre image ABC and A'B'C'
You're much shows A6, 3. B9, 6. C3, 9 And A' 2, 1 B'3,2 C'1, 3
To find the scale factor of a single dilation between the pre-image ABC and A'B'C', we need to compare the lengths of corresponding sides.
Let's consider the length of side AB in the pre-image ABC:
AB = sqrt((9-6)^2 + (6-3)^2) = sqrt(3^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(18) = 3sqrt(2)
Now, let's consider the length of side A'B' in the image A'B'C':
A'B' = sqrt((3-2)^2 + (2-1)^2) = sqrt(1^2 + 1^2) = sqrt(2)
To find the scale factor, we divide the length of A'B' by the length of AB:
Scale factor = A'B' / AB = (sqrt(2)) / (3sqrt(2))
To simplify this expression, we divide the numerator and denominator by sqrt(2):
Scale factor = (sqrt(2)) / (3sqrt(2)) * (sqrt(2) / sqrt(2))
Scale factor = sqrt(2) / (3 * sqrt(2))
Scale factor = 1 / 3
Therefore, the scale factor of a single dilation between the pre-image ABC and A'B'C' is 1/3.
