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 = ?

princeevee:

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

princeevee:

6

Mercury:

good, so 6 = your sol'n

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

princeevee:

i did it again and i now got D

Mercury:

good, D = your sol'n

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

46.2

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

princeevee:

7.5?

Mercury:

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

Mercury:

46? look at the original triangle, its area is a lot smaller than 46 what are the base and the height?

princeevee:

both 6

Mercury:

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

Mercury:

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

princeevee:

4

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) = ?

princeevee:

1.5

Mercury:

good
