Question

Triangle RST is diated to form triangle R'S'T with the scale factor of 3.5. If RT=8 what is the length of R'T

Answer 1

Answer:

R'T = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation is one of the methods used in transformation. It is a process in which the size of a given object or shape is either increased or decreased by a scale factor.

In the given question, the length of RT was increased by the scale factor, so that;

R'T = RT x scale factor

      = 8 x 3.5

      = 28

R'T = 28

Therefore, the length of R'T is equal to 28.
