Question

Triangle LMN is dilated by a factor of 1.25 to create triangle PQR what is the length of PQ A 20 cm B 18.75 cm C 17 cm di 12 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle LMN \to \triangle PQR$

$k = 1.25$

Required

The length of PQ

$\triangle LMN \to \triangle PQR$ means that the side lengths of LMN are multiplied by 1.25 to get the side lengths of PQR

And it implies that the following sides are corresponding

$LM \to PQ$

$MN \to QR$

$LN \to PR$

So, we have:

$PQ = k * LM$

$PQ = 1.25* LM$

The question is incomplete.

Assume LM = 16, then:

$PQ = 1.25* 16$

$PQ = 20$
