A.) Describe a transformation sequence that will transform quadrilateral ABCD into quadrilateral A’B’C’D’.
1 answer:
a.) The orientation of ABCD is clockwise, as is the orientation of A'B'C'D'. This means the transformation involves a even number of reflections (may be 0). The orientation of AB is North, and the orientation of A'B' is West, so a rotation of 90° CCW (or equivalent) is involved. We can find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of AA' and BB' (at (-1, -1)) to determine a suitable center of rotation.
ABCD can be transformed to A'B'C'D' by ...
- rotation 90° CCW about the point (-1, -1)
b.) Rotation by 90° can also be accomplished by reflection across a diagonal line. Since we want the orientation to remain unchanged, we need another reflection to put the figure into its final position. A suitable alternate sequence for mapping ABCD to A'B'C'D' is ...
- reflection across the line y=x
- reflection across the line x=-1

Answer:
It weighs 40 pounds on mars
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct proportion is the relationship between two variables when their ratio is equal to a constant value
- It can be expressed as y = k x, where y varies directly as x and k is constant of variation
- It can be expressed as
∵ The weight of an object on mars varies directly as the weight
of the object on earth
∴ w(m) = k × w(e)
∵ The weight of the object on earth is 75 pound
∴ w(e) = 75
∵ The weight of this object on mars is 25 pounds
∴ w(m) = 25
- Substitute them in the equation of variation
∵ 25 = k × 75
- Divide both sides by 75
∴ = k
∴ w(m) = × w(e)
∵ An object weighs 120 pounds on earth
∴ w(e) = 120
- Substitute it in the equation of variation
∴ w(m) = × 120
∴ w(m) = 40
∴ It weighs 40 pounds on mars
