Question

Line segment AB was dilated to create line segment A'B'
using the dilation rule D2,0.15-

What is x, the distance between points A and A'?

2.4 units
4.8 units
13.6 units
14.4 units

Answer 1

Answer:

13.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the segment AQ is related to the measure of the segment A'Q by the dilation factor as follows:

dilation factor = A'Q/AQ

AQ = A'Q/dilation factor

Replacing with data:

AQ = 2.4/0.15 = 16

Then, the distance between points A and A' is

x = 16 - 2.4 = 13.6
