Question

the scale factor of the dilation of segment hg is $\frac{1}{6}$. if pg equals 0.5 units, what is pg? 2.5 units 3 units 4.5 units 6 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation formula

$PG'=\text{scale factor}\times PG$

Step2: Solve for PG

$PG=\frac{PG'}{\text{scale factor}}=\frac{0.5}{\frac{1}{6}} = 3$

Answer:

3 units
