Question

a segment has a length of 16 units. it undergoes a dilation with a ratio of \\(\frac{1}{4}\\). what is the length of the dilated segment? \\(\circ\\) 4 units \\(\circ\\) 8 units \\(\circ\\) 16 units \\(\circ\\) 64 units

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply length by dilation ratio

$\text{New length} = 16 \times \frac{1}{4}$

Step2: Calculate the product

$\text{New length} = 4$

Answer:

4 units
