Question

dilate rectangle qrst by a scale factor of 3 with the center of dilation at point q. to dilate the rectangle, think about the lengths of the corresponding sides. what is the length of qr, the image of segment qr? qr = units

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the length of \( QR \)

From the graph, \( QR = 2 \) units.

Step2: Use the dilation formula

The formula for dilation is \( QR'=k\times QR \), where \( k = 3 \) (scale factor).
Substitute \( QR = 2 \) and \( k = 3 \) into the formula: \( QR'=3\times2 \).

Answer:

\( 6 \)
