it's asking for the area of the image not the original triangle
the original triangle has the area 24
the scale factor is 0.5 as indicated in the problem
so new area = area * scale factor * scale factor = ?

12?

Mercury:
remember for area you have to multiply by the scale factor twice.
new area = area * scale factor * scale factor = 24 * 0.5 * 0.5

good, so 6 = your sol'n

Mercury:
be careful about your positive and negative signs
since D = (-2,-1) you multiply it by 2.5 to get (-5,-2.5) not (-5,2.5)
repeat this logic with the other coordinates to get the correct sol'n

i did it again and i now got D

not quite
the original is 25.5 by 33
if the scale factor is 1.4, the second dimension is then 33 * 1.4

the length of QR is 5
the scale factor is 1.5
so simply multiply length of QR * scale factor to get Q'R'

hm not quite
let's start from the beginning - what's the area of the original triangle? remember that area = (1/2)b*h

princeevee:
46? 3*3*3
7 years ago
Mercury:
46? look at the original triangle, its area is a lot smaller than 46
what are the base and the height?

Mercury:
notice how the base is 4 squares not 3
so the base is 8 not 6

Mercury:
so (1/2)*base*height = ?

Mercury:
the base is 8
the height is 6
(1/2)*base*height = ?

Mercury:
base = 8
height = 6
(1/2)*base*height = (1/2)*8*6 = ?

princeevee:
24?

Mercury:
good
now, we multiply by the scale factor twice
so 24 * (1/4) * (1/4) = ?
