Question

Triangle LMN is dilated by a factor of 1.25 to create triangle PQR what is the length of PQ A 20 cm B 18.75 cm C 17 cm di 12 cm

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Given

`\triangle LMN \to \triangle PQR`

`k = 1.25`

Required

The length of PQ

`\triangle LMN \to \triangle PQR` means that the side lengths of LMN are multiplied by 1.25 to get the side lengths of PQR

And it implies that the following sides are corresponding

`LM \to PQ`

`MN \to QR`

`LN \to PR`

So, we have:

`PQ = k * LM`

`PQ = 1.25* LM`

The question is incomplete.

Assume LM = 16, then:

`PQ = 1.25* 16`

`PQ = 20`
