Answer:
The length is 2.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we find the value of the length of the side, we need the measure of the coordinates after dilation
B’ = 1/2 B = 1/2(3,2) = (1.5, 1)
C’ = 1/2 C = 1/2( 0,-2) = (0,-1)
The measure of the length is the distance between the two points
Mathematically, that would be;
D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
D = √(0-1.5)^2 + (-1-1)^2
D = √(2.25 + 4)
D = √6.25
D = 2.5 units
