Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go over each question step-by-step.
Problem 6:
You need to find the image of the triangle reflected across the mirror line . Reflection means each point of the triangle should be equidistant from on the opposite side. Let’s analyze each option:
- (a): The vertices of the triangle in option (a) do not seem to be reflected correctly, as their orientation is not a mirror image.
- (b): This option also does not align with the mirror line.
- (c): This shows an accurate mirror image of the original triangle across line . The distances and orientation seem correct.
- (d): This option is also incorrect for a reflection across .
Answer for Problem 6: The correct answer is (c).
Problem 7:
In this problem, you need to find the image of triangle after a dilation with center and a scale factor of 3. Dilation means that each point , , and should be three times farther from than they were initially, maintaining the same direction from .
- (a): Triangle is the correct shape, but the distance from isn’t scaled by 3.
- (b): This triangle is similarly too close to and does not show the correct scaling.
- (c): The vertices appear correctly scaled by a factor of 3, making this a potential answer.
- (d): This triangle does not reflect a scale factor of 3 from either.
Answer for Problem 7: The correct answer is (c).
