80 points! Look at pic attached. I will mark brainiest if you explain your reasoning good. Random answers will be reported.

No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:

1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.

2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.

*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment below if you need any clarification. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
