Which scale drawing is a dilation that decreased the size of the original object it represents? Figure 1 is the star with scale 1:5 , Figure 2 is the octagon with scale 2:0.5 , Figure 3 is the triangle with scale 10:1 , and Figure 4 is the pentagon with scale 1:0.1 .
If you want to dilate a square with a side of 6 units to create a square with a side of 18 units, what scale factor should you use?
To dilate a square with a side of 6 units to create a square with a side of 18 units, you can find the scale factor by dividing the new side length by the original side length:
Scale factor = New side length / Original side length
In this case, the new side length is 18 units and the original side length is 6 units:
Scale factor = 18 / 6 = 3
Therefore, the scale factor to use is 3.
If you dilate a circle of radius 2 mm with a scale factor of 50, what will be the radius of the dilated circle?
To find the radius of the dilated circle, you can multiply the radius of the original circle by the scale factor:
Radius of dilated circle = Radius of original circle x Scale factor
In this case, the radius of the original circle is 2 mm and the scale factor is 50:
Radius of dilated circle = 2 mm x 50 = 100 mm
Therefore, the radius of the dilated circle will be 100 mm.
A quadrilateral has the following vertices: (4,4) , (6,6) , (8,4) , (6,2) . After dilation, the new quadrilateral has the following vertices: (3,3) , (4.5,4.5) , (6,3) , (4.5,1.5) .
To find the scale factor of the dilation, we can compare the corresponding side lengths of the original and dilated quadrilaterals. Let's take one side as an example - the side connecting (4,4) and (6,6) in the original quadrilateral.
Original side length = sqrt((6-4)^2 + (6-4)^2) = sqrt(4+4) = sqrt(8)
Dilated side length = sqrt((4.5-3)^2 + (4.5-3)^2) = sqrt(1.5^2 + 1.5^2) = sqrt(2 * 2.25) = sqrt(4.5)
Scale factor = Dilated side length / Original side length = sqrt(4.5) / sqrt(8) ≈ 1.06
Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is approximately 1.06.
it says It's wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try the calculation again:
Let's take the side connecting (4,4) and (6,6) in the original quadrilateral.
Original side length = sqrt((6-4)^2 + (6-4)^2) = sqrt(2^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(4 + 4) = sqrt(8)
Dilated side length = sqrt((4.5-3)^2 + (4.5-3)^2) = sqrt(1.5^2 + 1.5^2) = sqrt(2.25 + 2.25) = sqrt(4.5)
Scale factor = Dilated side length / Original side length = sqrt(4.5) / sqrt(8) ≈ 1.06
Apologies for the earlier confusion, but the calculation remains the same. The scale factor of the dilation is still approximately 1.06.
still wrong perhaps another number?
Apologies for the confusion again. Let's recalculate the scale factor using a different pair of corresponding side lengths.
Let's consider the side connecting (4,4) and (6,2) for the original quadrilateral.
Original side length = sqrt((6-4)^2 + (2-4)^2) = sqrt(2^2 + (-2)^2) = sqrt(4 + 4) = sqrt(8)
Dilated side length = sqrt((4.5-3)^2 + (1.5-3)^2) = sqrt(1.5^2 + (-1.5)^2) = sqrt(2.25 + 2.25) = sqrt(4.5)
Scale factor = Dilated side length / Original side length = sqrt(4.5) / sqrt(8) ≈ 0.94
Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is approximately 0.94.
