Question

Ab is 10. 8 units long if ABC is dilated by a scale factor of k equals 1.3 what is the length of a'b'

Answer 1

ANSWER


The length of

$A'B'=14.04 \: units$

EXPLANATION

The object length given to us is,

$|AB|=10.8 \: units$

The scale factor of the dilation is,

$k = 1.3$

The image length can be calculated using the formula

$|A'B'| = k \times |AB|$

We substitute the given values into the formula to get,

$|A'B'| = 1.3\times 10.8$


We multiply out to obtain,

$|A'B'| = 14.04 \: units$
