Answers:

For original triangle, perimeter is 60. The area is 120.

The dilated triangle, perimeter is 180. The area is 1080.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 times 3=72

10 times 3=30

26 times 3=78

72+30+78=180

Perimeter of diliated triangle

1/2btimesh=area

1/2 30 times 72=1080 square units

Perimeter of original triangle

24+10+26=60 units

1/2 10 times 24=120 square units

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
