Question

Line segment LM is dilated to create L'M' using point Q as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2.

Answer 1

the answer is 6 on edg,

Answer 2

Answer: 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Line segment LM is dilated to create L'M' using point Q as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2.

Since in dilation , to calculate the distance of a point on image from center point we need to multiply scale factor to the distance of corresponding point on pre-image from center point .

Thus we have,

$QM'=2\times QM\\\\\Rightarrow QM'=2\times3\\\\\Rightarrow QM'=6$

Hence, the length of segment QM' = 6 units.
