Question

Please help fast! Line segment AB was dilated to create line segment A’B’ using the dilation rule DQ0.12•

Answer 1

The correct answer option is C. 13.6 units.

Explanation:

Line segment AB was dilated to create the line segment A'B' using the dilation rule
`D_(Q, 0.15)`.

We are to find the value of
`x` which is the distance between the twp points A and A'.

For this, we will divide the distance of A'Q by the dilation factor and then subtract the given length.

`(2.4)/(0.15) = 16`

x =
`16-2.4` = 13.6 units
