Question

square qrst is dilated by a scale factor of 4 to form square qrst. side st measures 14. what is the measure of side st?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation property

Dilation scales lengths by the scale factor. For a dilation with scale factor \( k \), the length of the image side is \( k \times \) original side length.

Step2: Calculate \( S'T' \)

Original side \( ST = 14 \), scale factor \( k = 4 \). So \( S'T' = 4\times14 = 56 \).

Answer:

56
