Question

line segment ab was dilated to create line segment ab using the dilation rule $d_{q,0.15}$. what is x, the distance between points a and a? 2.4 units 4.8 units 13.6 units 14.4 units

Explanation:

Step1: Find QA length

Dilation scale factor: $0.15$. $QA' = 2.4$, so $QA = \frac{QA'}{0.15} = \frac{2.4}{0.15} = 16$.

Step2: Calculate AA'

$AA' = QA - QA' = 16 - 2.4 = 13.6$.

Answer:

C. 13.6 units
