a parking meter that is 1.6m tall costs a shadow of 3.6m long. at the same time, a tree costs a shadow 9m long. which proportion could be used to fin the height of the tree?

well, 1.6m:3.6m, so then for 9m, we would divide 1.6 by 3.6, which is 0.444444... So, we multiply 9 by 0.444444, which is 3.9999996. We can round this to 4, so 9m:4m. The 9m tall tree casts a shadow of 4m.

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
