7:40 PM Tue Mardoltamathcom - PeluateThe segment below is dilated by a scale factor of to form J'K'. What is themeasure of J'K'?24

Answer 1

Since J'K' is a dilation of JK, we have that

`J^(\prime)K^(\prime)=c\cdot JK`

Where c is the scale factor of the dilation; therefore,

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow J^(\prime)K^(\prime)=(1)/(3)\cdot JK=(1)/(3)\cdot24=8 \\ \Rightarrow J^(\prime)K^(\prime)=8 \end{gathered}`

The answer is J'K'=8
