17 is the correct answer.
Look at!!:
Pre image A(3,4), B(1,5) C(6,6);
If you multiply these coordinates by 3/2, you get its images:
A(3,4) ⇒ A`(3*3/2, 4*3/2)=(4.5, 6)
B(1,5) ⇒B`(1.*3/2, 5*3/2)=(1.5, 7.5)
C(6,6) ⇒C`(6*3/2, 6*3/2)=(9,9)
Therefore the scale factor is 3/2.
When the scale factor of a dilation is >1, then we have an enlargement, an expansion.
In this case 3/2=1.5>1
Answer:
The dilation is expansion.
The scale factor is 3/2.
Find the total area of the yard in feet.
Area of a rectangle is length x width.
31 x 24 = 744
Divide the total area of the yard by the coverage of the seeds.
744/12 = 62
He will need 62 packs of seed.
17. RQ is the same as PS.
PS = -1 + 4x
RQ = 3x + 3
-1 + 4x = 3x + 3
4x = 3x + 4
x = 4
Now plug that into RQ.
3(4) + 3 = RQ
15 = RQ
18. Angles G and E are equal to each other.
G = 5x - 9
E = 3x + 11
5x - 9 = 3x + 11
5x = 3x + 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Plug that x into G.
5(10) - 9
41 = G
19. TE and EV are equal to each other.
TE = 4 + 2x
EV = 4x - 4
4 + 2x = 4x - 4
2x = 4x - 8
-2x = -8
x = 4
Plug that into TE.
4 + 2(4)
12 = TE
20. DB and BF are equal.
DB = 5x - 1
BF = 5 + 3x
5x - 1 = 5 + 3x
5x = 6 + 3x
2x = 6
x = 3
Plug that into DB.
5(3) - 1
14 = DB
