A figure was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. What is the algebraic representation for this dilation?

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete but i would show how to solve.

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are dilation, rotation, translation and reflection.

Dilation is the enlargement or reduction in the size of a figure.

a) If an point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the new coordinate is A'(kx, ky). From the above options the ones that represent dilation is (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y)  and (x, y) → (2x, 2y) . If the object is reduced then the correct option is (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y)   while if the object is enlarged the correct option is (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y)

b)Dilation is the enlargement or reduction in the size of a figure by a factor k. If k < 1, then it is a reduction and if k > 1, it is an enlargement.

Since Triangle XYZ is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule (x, y)⇒(0.5x, 0.5y) to create Triangle X’Y’Z’, since the factor is less than 1(0.5 < 1), it is a reduction. Hence Triangle X’Y’Z’ is smaller than Triangle XYZ, because the scale factor is less than 1

c) The dilation creates a smaller figure hence the factor of dilation should be less than 1.

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

Here,

tip=18%of $32

tip=(18/100)*32

=0.18*32

=$5.76

Total payment=32+5.76=$37.76

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
