Identify the scale factor given the graph of each image and its preimage.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

the cross section of an object is the shape you get when you cut straight through an object.

thus the cross section of the human hair is a circle. hence the cross sectional area is the area of a circle and area of circle is :

a = 3.14 × r²

we are given that the average width of human hair is = 4 × (1 / 10³) cm.

so the diameter of the circle is = 4 × (1 / 10³) cm.

∴ radius r = (diameter/2) = 2 × (1/10³) cm

now area a = 3.14 × (2 × (1/10³))² cm²

scientific notation is a standard way of writing very large and very small numbers so that they’re easier to both compare and use in computations. to write in scientific notation, follow the form

n × 10 ᵃ

where n is a number between 1 and 10, but not 10 itself, and a is an integer (positive or negative number).

so area can be rewritten in scientific notation as :

⇒ 3.14 × 4 × (1/10⁶)

⇒ 12.56 × 10 ⁻⁶ cm²

⇒1.256 × 10⁻⁷ cm²
