A builder buys 26.5 acres of land to develop a new community of homes and parks. Part 1 out of 2 The builder plans to use 0.25 of the land for a park. How many acres will he use for the park?

6.625 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

A builder brought 26.5 acres of land to develop a community.

A fourth of that land will be used to make a park.

1/4 * 53/2

LCM of 4 and 2 is 4

1/4 * 106/4

106/16 = 53/8 = 6.625 or 6 5/8 acres will be used for a park

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
