Question

1. The shape shown below is dilated by a scale factor of 2.6. It is in the attachment that was included.

(a) Calculate the length of each side of the dilated image.
(b) Draw the new image and label it .

Answer 1

L' = 26cm

W' = 39cm

Explanation:

a) Given the dimension of the shape;

length L = 10cm

Width W = 15cm

After dilating by a scale factor os 2.6

New length L' = 2.6(10) = 26cm

New width = W' = 2.6(15) = 39cm

Hence the length of each sides of the dilated image are 26cm and 39cm

b) The new image will be similar to the given image but of with the resulting length gotten in (a).
