Question

Ab is 10. 8 units long if ABC is dilated by a scale factor of k equals 1.3 what is the length of a'b'

Answer 1

ANSWER


The length of


`A'B'=14.04 \: units`

Step-by-step explanation

The object length given to us is,


`|AB|=10.8 \: units`

The scale factor of the dilation is,


`k = 1.3`

The image length can be calculated using the formula


`|A'B'| = k * |AB|`

We substitute the given values into the formula to get,


`|A'B'| = 1.3* 10.8`


We multiply out to obtain,


`|A'B'| = 14.04 \: units`
