Someone help?

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so square lmno is shown below with line pq passing through the center: If square lmno is dilated by a scale factor of two about the center of the square to create square l'm'n'o', dilated line p'q' will.... Be parallel to line pq and pass through point n Contain the points p and a Be perpendicular to the line pq and pass through point l Shift two units to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's c

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

can you draw the picture with the second square twice as big on each side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this what it would look like?

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

that's about right. Now where are p' and q' in your picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the line passing through the square :)

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

The same line as P and Q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh, would it be twice as big too?

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

lines don't really have sizes(they are all reallllly long(infinite) and realllly thin(zero). I'm just asking if p' and q' are on the same line as p and q.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh alright :) hmm... Yes

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

So which of the four choices best describes this situation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C? I'm not sure :c i know it's not going to shift to the right.

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Don't let the big words throw you off, just look at your picture, is the square shifted to the right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!!

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

I misread your last post, sorry.(Don't let me lead you off either.) Dilate just means stretch, so you were right before. What do two perpendicular lines look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh, hehe :) they cross. And parallel lines never do

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Great! Now does the line you want go through n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummm.. I'm not sure :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait! In the answer choices the line that goes through n is parallel, I thought we were doing perpendicular

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

you said it was the same line as went through p and q, does it go thru n?(look at the picture)

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

does the line we want cross the line that goes through p and q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it goes through n

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

I think you're guessing. Take a deep breath and relax. Awhile back, we said that the line from p' to q' was the same as the line from p thru q. So, draw that line in your picture.(Its all about the picture)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry :( ok I just drew this. I'm not too sure if it'll make a big difference but yeah haha

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Perfect! Does the blue line go thru n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean to me, p and q passes though m and n parallely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't directly go through it

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

That's right. It may come close, but it doesn't go through n. So A) can't be the answer. Does the line go through p and q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops b.) was supposed to be contain the points p and q I typed it wrong :( and yes it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I'm leaning towards b for this

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Well, we've eliminated all the others. The blue line doesn't go thru n, its not perpendicular to the line from p to q , and there's no shift. Don't lean toward B, jump on it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay!! Alright!!! Thanks :D I have an other question. I think I already know the answer

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

I've got time for ione more. Shoot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! Ok so it's a chart question and the chart is proving that the three angles of triangle pqr sum to 180. But the chart is incorrect. Which statement accurately corrects the chart? The measure of angle zry equals 180 by definition of supplementary angles Angles qry and pqr should be proven congruent after the construction of line zy The three angles of triangle pqr equal 180 according to the transitive property of equality Line zy should be drawn parallel to segment qr Sorry! I'm more of an English person haha I'm horrible at math!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is c but I'm not exactly sure

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

is there a picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :) I put it with the question but here is is again

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

I see a table with the proof, but I can't see a triangle, is there one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No there wasn't one :(

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

It would seem to me that you'd need a picture of some sort in order to know where z and y are located.

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

which is option B, actually.
