<h2>
Dilations and Scale Factors</h2>
When we're solving with scale factors, we either divide or multiply.
If the shape becomes larger, we multiply to get the new length.
If the shape becomes smaller, we divide to get the new length.
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
We're given:
- Original side length is 2.5 units
- Scale factor = 6
Because the shape becomes larger, we have to multiply the original side length by the scale factor, 6, to get the new side length.
2.5 x 6 = 15
Therefore, the missing side length is 15 units.
<h2>Answer</h2>
15 units
To round to the nearest hundredth is 42.66
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Growth rate is exponential, and rate is 100%
You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16
