The diagram represents a triangle that is reduced by a scale factor of 0.4. what is the height of the original triangle? 0.8 inches 2.4 inches 5 inches 8 inches

The height of the original triangle is

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the length of the corresponding side of the reduced triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----->  the length of the corresponding side of the reduced triangle

y-----> the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle

so

in this problem we have

-----> the height of the reduced triangle

substitute and solve for y

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
