Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is missing in the question. However, here's how to find the length of the new radius if given a known scale factor.
Length of new radius = length of the radius of the dilated circle × scale factor of dilation
Length of the radius of the dilated circle is given as 18m
Therefore,
Length of new radius = 18m × scale factor.
If the scale factor is a fraction, it means the new length would be smaller than 18m. But if the scale factor is a whole number, the new length of the radius would be greater than 18m.
Let's assume any of the following scale factors was what was given in the question:
<em>*If scale factor given is ½, new radius length = 18m × ½ = 9m</em>
<em>*If scale factor given is 2, new radius length = 18m × 2 = 36m</em>
