Question

triangle qrs is to be dilated using the rule $d_{p,\frac{3}{4}}$. what will be the distance from the center of dilation, p, to the image s? \bigcirc 2 units \bigcirc 4 units \bigcirc 6 units \bigcirc 8 units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

Distance from P to S: $PS = 8$ units; scale factor $k = \frac{3}{4}$

Step2: Calculate distance to image $S'$

Multiply original distance by scale factor: $PS' = PS \times k$
$PS' = 8 \times \frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

6 units
