Question

numeric 10 points segment ab measures 3 cm. point o is the center of dilation. how long is the image of ab after a dilation with a scale factor of 5? (you do not need to enter the unit of measurement, just the number) answer previous next

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation formula

The length of the dilated segment = original length × scale - factor.

Step2: Substitute values

Original length of segment AB is 3, scale - factor is 5. So, length of dilated segment = 3×5.

Step3: Calculate result

3×5 = 15.

Answer:

15
