Determine the scale factor from the point A(2, 6) of DEF to D’E’F’ where D(-8, 6), E(-8, 14), F(2, 3) (- 3, 6) and D’ (-3, 6) E’(-3, 10) and F’(2, 4.5) What is the scale factor?

The scale factor to transform DEF to D'E'F' is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

DEF is

D(-8, 6), E(-8, 14), F(2, 3)

D'(-3, 6), E'(-3, 10), F'(2, 4.5)

Therefore;

DE = √((-8-(-8))²+(6-14)²) = 8

D'E' = √((-3 -(-3))² + (6 - 10)²) = 4

Similarly,

EF = √((-8 - 2)² + (14 - 3)²) = √(100 + 121) = √221

E'F' = √((-3 - 2)² + (10 - 4.5)²) = √(100/4 + 121/4) = (√221) × 1/2

Also

DF = √(-8 - 2)² + (6 - 3)² = √(100 + 9 =√109

D'F' = √(-3 - 2)² + (6 - 4.5)² = √(5² + 3²) = √((10/2)² + (3/2)²) = √(100/4 + 9/4) = (√109)×1/2

Therefore the ratio of DEF to D'E'F' = DE/D'F' = EF/E'F' = DF/D'F' = √221/(√221) × 1/2 = 2

That is the scale factor of DEF to D'E'F'  = 1/2.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
