Question5. If ABA B is 12 , what is the length of ABA^{\prime} B^{\prime} ? (Lesson 3-5)
6. Right angle ABCA B C is taken by a dilation with center PP and scale factor 12\frac{1}{2} to angle ABCA^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime}. What is the measure of angle ABCA^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} ? (Lesson 3-4)
7. Respond to each question. (Lesson 3-4)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.
2. The scale factor determines how much larger or smaller the image will be compared to the original.
3. Angles remain unchanged under dilation.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the length of AB A^{\prime} B^{\prime} .
2. Determine the measure of angle ABC A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} .
3. Respond to each question.

STEP 3

Given that AB=12 AB = 12 and the scale factor of the dilation is 12 \frac{1}{2} , the length of AB A^{\prime} B^{\prime} can be calculated by multiplying the original length by the scale factor:
AB=AB×scale factor A^{\prime} B^{\prime} = AB \times \text{scale factor} AB=12×12 A^{\prime} B^{\prime} = 12 \times \frac{1}{2}

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication:
AB=12×12=6 A^{\prime} B^{\prime} = 12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6

STEP 5

Since dilation does not affect angles, the measure of angle ABC A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} is the same as the measure of angle ABC ABC . Given that ABC ABC is a right angle, we have:
Measure of ABC=90 \text{Measure of } \angle A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} = 90^\circ

STEP 6

Respond to each question: - The length of AB A^{\prime} B^{\prime} is 6 6 . - The measure of angle ABC A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} is 90 90^\circ .
The solutions are: - Length of AB A^{\prime} B^{\prime} : 6 \boxed{6} - Measure of angle ABC A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} : 90 \boxed{90^\circ}
