I have found two answers but they are incorecct for my two questions
1. Let G be the center of equilateral triangle XYZ. A dilation centered at G with scale factor \(-\frac{2}{3} \)is applied to triangle XYZ, to obtain triangle X'Y'Z'. Let A be the area of the region that is contained in both triangles XYZ and X'Y'Z'. Find \(\frac{A}{[XYZ]}\).
I found the answer 4/9 but the website i use said its not correct...
2. A square ABCD has an area of 4. The square is then dilated with a scale factor of x, producing a square A'B'C'D' of area 9. Find the sum of all possible values of x.
i found two answers 1.5 or -1.5 because the hint i was given was can scale factors be negative. I thought that there was only 1 answer 1.5 should i just add the two to get 0?
EDIT: The correct answer was 0! I wasnt thinking about the part where it said sum. It clicked once I wrote it out here.
Please help with number 1!
Thank you so much!
