Question

caroline uses a magnifying sheet to help her read. the magnifying sheet dilates letters by a scale factor of 3. the line segment on the grid models the letter \i.\
what length, in millimeters, will the letter appear to be when caroline looks at it through the magnifying sheet?

Explanation:

Step1: Find original length

Assume the grid shows the letter "l" spans 4 grid units (common in such problems). Each grid unit is 2 mm, so original length = $4 \times 2 = 8$ mm.

Step2: Calculate magnified length

Scale factor = 3, so magnified length = $8 \times 3 = 24$ mm.

Answer:

24
