If a figure has been dilated by a scale factor of one third, which transformation could be used to prove the figures are similar using the aa similarity postulate?

a translation because it can map one angle onto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles.
a rotation because it can change the orientation of a figure since dilations do not preserve orientation.
a dilation because it can map one side onto another since dilations preserve side length of triangles.
a reflection because it can change the orientation of a figure since dilations do not preserve orientation.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

if you are saying purchasing 3 social media ads and one newspaper ad counts as one purchase then there are:

6 purchases

if you are asking how many of each then:

18 social media ads

6 newspaper ads

i think u have 12 apples sorry again i don't really know if it correct i'm just tryna hrlp people out.

i believe so, according to my "strange" way of figuring out weird math problems like this.
