The right triangle below is dilated by a scale factor of 3 Find the perimeter and area of the right triangle below as well as the perimeter and area of the dila class=

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

From the picture attached,

Measure of the base of the small right triangle = 10 units

Height of the triangle = 24 units

Measure of the Hypotenuse = 26 units

Since, Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the measures of the sides of the triangle

Therefore, Perimeter = 10 + 24 + 26

                                   = 60 units

Area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                                 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10)(24)[/tex]

                                 = 120 units²

Given triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form the bigger triangle,

Scale factor = 3

Since, expression for the scale factor is given by,

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}[/tex]

Therefore, length of the base of the dilated (bigger) triangle will be,

[tex]3=\frac{\text{Measure of the base of the original}}{10}[/tex]

Measure of the base of the original = 30 units

Height of the dilated triangle will be,

[tex]3=\frac{\text{Height of the dilated triangle}}{24}[/tex]

Height = 24 × 3

            = 72 cm

Hypotenuse of the dilated triangle will be,

[tex]3=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse of the dilated triangle}}{26}[/tex]

Hypotenuse = 78 cm

Now the perimeter of the dilated triangle = 30 + 72 + 78

                                                                     = 180 cm

Area of the dilated triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(30)(72)[/tex]

                                             = 1080 cm²
