if a triangle is dilated with a scale factor of 3, how do the sizes for the pre-image and image compare?

Please check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

When we dilate a particular figure, we are simply increasing the dimensions of its sides

By dilating the pre-image by a factor of 3, we are simply increasing the dimensions of it by a multiple of 3

so say for example, the base of the pre-image has a measure of 4 ft, the base of the image which is the pre-image dilated by a scale factor of 3 will be 4 ft * 3 = 12 ft

What this mean is that we have succeeded in tripling the dimension of the pre-image to give the dimension of the image

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer

but there’s no any figure there!
