dilate △abc by a scale factor of \frac{1}{2} with the center of dilation at point c. to dilate the triangle, think about the lengths of the corresponding sides. what is the length of ac, the image of segment ac? ac = units

Explanation:

Step1: Find the length of \( AC \)

From the grid, the length of \( AC \) is \( 8 \) units.

Step2: Calculate the length of \( A'C \)

Since the scale factor is \( \frac{1}{2} \), use the formula \( A'C=\text{scale factor}\times AC \).
So, \( A'C = \frac{1}{2}\times8 \).

$$ \frac{1}{2}\times8=4 $$

Answer:

\(4\)
