How do i find the first figure is dilated to form the second figure.

which statement is true?

a. the scale factor is 0.25.

b. the scale factor is 4.

c. the scale factor is 4.35.

d. the scale factor is 7.25.

The marked choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of the dimensions of the second figure to those of the first:

1.45/5.8 = 0.25

its definatley   this on your answer choice?

-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
