A balloon is floating above a lake and a sunken canoe is below the surface of the lake. The balloon's vertical position is 12 meters and the canoe's is -4.8 meters. The equation 12 + d = -4.8 represents this situation. What is the value of the variable in this equation?

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
