You can search their name at Google Ecuador (www.google.com.ec). This is difficult if you dont speak Spanish (more on this later). You can also use the Ecuadorian version of Facebook: Sonico.com. Again, you need to be able to write and understand Spanish. Just a few months ago, I found a long, lost Ecuadorian friend by putting her name into both Google Ecuador and Sonico. Essentially, Google Ecuador brought me to Sonico and I found her on Sonico. A word of caution: dont give Sonico your e-mail address when you sign-up, which youll have to do to have access to the Sonico members. It will automatically e-mail everyone in your address book an invitation to Sonico in Spanish.I ended up with a lot of confused non-spanish speaking friends asking why I was sending them e-mails in Spanish. If you dont speak Spanish, you can use the Google Translator (translate.google.com). You go to the google translate site and paste the URL of the page you want to translate into the text block and click on translate. This can be quite laborious if you are going to a lot of pages. In that case, download the Chrome browser and add the Google Translate extension. This will add a check box where you just click yes (to the question: Translate page?) when you need a translation. Btw, this will allow translation of many different languages. Very cool.
How do you calculate dilation?
-
Starting with ΔABC, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. Notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). Dilations involve multiplication! Dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
-
To create an enlargement with a scale factor of 2: Draw straight lines connecting each vertex to the center of dilation. Use the compass to find the points that are twice the distance from the center of dilation as the original vertices. Connect the new vertices to form the dilated image.
Similarly, whats the opposite of dilation? Theres no single word. The usual phrase is constricted pupils. Incidentally, in fiction people whove taken heroin or related drugs are almost inevitably described as having dilated pupils even though the described drugs cause constriction!
In respect to this, how do u find the scale factor?
To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale factor will be less than one. If you begin with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.
What are the properties of dilation?
A dilation is when a shape has kept its orientation but has been changed in size, either getting smaller or getting larger. This is a form of transformation, which is a repositioning of a shape. There are four basic transformations: reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation.
