Answer:
scale factor = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.
scale factor = =
= 1.2
The length of DZ is 4 units ⇒ 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle X Y Z is cut by line segment C D, where
- C lies on side XY and D lies on the side YZ
- The length of C D is 15
- The length of X Z is 18
- The length of C Y is 25
- The length of Y D is 20
- C D and X Z are parallel
- CX = 5 units
We need to find the length of DZ
In Δ XYZ
∵ C ∈ XY and D ∈ YZ
∵ CD // XZ
∴ m∠YCD = m∠YXZ ⇒ alternate angles
∴ m∠YDC = m∠YZX ⇒ alternate angles
In Δs YCD and YXZ
∵ m∠YCD = m∠YXZ
∵ m∠YDC = m∠YZX
∵ ∠Y is a common angle
∴ Δ YCD is similar to Δ YXZ by AAA postulate
- There is a constant ratio between their corresponding sides
∴
∵ YC = 25 units
∵ CX = 5 units
∵ YX = YC + CX
∴ YX = 25 + 5 = 30 units
∵ YD = 20 units
∵ YZ = YD + DZ
∴ YZ = 20 + DZ
Let us use the ratio of the corresponding side
∵
∴
- Simplify by dividing up and down by 5
∵
∴
- By using cross multiplication
∴ 5(20 + DZ) = 6(20)
∴ 100 + 5 DZ = 120
- Subtract 100 from both sides
∴ 5 DZ = 20
- Divide both sides by 5
∴ DZ = 4 units
The length of DZ is 4 units
