<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
Answer: the answer is 78
Step-by-step explanation: first you do 6+2 than you divide the answer you get by 3

Answer:
10.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder, the ground and the wall form the shape of a right angled triangle as shown in the image below.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is 14 feet (length of ladder)
The base of the triangle is 9 feet long (the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall)
We need to find the height of the triangle. We can apply Pythagoras rule:
where hyp = hypotenuse
a = base of the triangle
b = height of the triangle
Therefore:
The wall reaches 10.7 feet high.
