Explain the differences between an isometric transformation and a dilation.

An isometric transformation is a transformation in which the image is congruent to the pre-image. Both corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal. A dilation is a transformation in which the corresponding angles of the image are congruent to the pre-image, but the corresponding sides are proportional. This ratio is determined by a scale factor. Dilations create similar images.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
