Triangle abc was dilated by 50%. what is the relationship between ac and a'c'?

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

A'C' ----> the length of segment A'C'

AC ----> the length of segment AC

so

we have that

---> the dilation is a reduction, because the scale factor is less than 1 and greater than zero

substitute

therefore

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

correct answer:

a + bi

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
