question
parallelogram jklm is dilated by a scale factor of 6 to form parallelogram jklm. side mj measures 42. what is the measure of side mj?

answer attempt 1 out of 1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation property

Dilation scales lengths by a factor. If scale factor \( k = 6 \), then \( \text{Length of image} = k \times \text{Length of original} \). So \( M'J' = 6 \times MJ \).

Step2: Solve for \( MJ \)

Given \( M'J' = 42 \), substitute into formula: \( 42 = 6 \times MJ \). Then \( MJ=\frac{42}{6}=7 \).
