Drew is going to his friend's house after school and wants to track how far he walks. he first walks 1.25 miles north, then 0.75 miles east, and finally 0.25 miles south to get to his friend's house. when drew leaves, his friend tells him that there's a shortcut through the park to walk straight back to his house, 1.25 miles. a rectangular shape of park split into a standard triangle and a polygon how many miles does drew save by taking the shortcut instead of retracing the same route back home? a. 1 mi b. 1.25 mi c. 1.5 mi d. 0.75 mi

5050 i think

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

answer: translate the circles so they share a common center point and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3.
