Question

Triangle JKL is dilated by a scale factor of 6 to form triangle J'K'L'. Side L'J' measures 12. What is the measure of side LJ?

Answer 1

LJ = 2

Step-by-step explanation

The scale factor is 6, so each side of triangle J'K'L' has a length that is 6 times the length of each corresponding side from triangle JKL:

`L^(\prime)J^(\prime)=12LJ`

Replacing L'J'=12 and solving
