Question

The distance from P to D is 7 units, the distance from Pto E is 7.5 units, and the distance from P to F is 12 units.If the scale factor here is 2, what would be the distancesfrom P to D', P to E', and P to F'?

Answer 1

PD' = 14 units

PE' = 15 units

PF' = 24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

P to D is 7 units

P to E is 7.5 units

P to F is 12 units

Scale factor = 2

Using an illustration:

scale factor = image/pre image

2 = PD'/PD

2 = PD'/7

PD' = 2(7) = 14 units

2 = PE'/PE

2 = PE'/7.5

PE' = 2(7.5) = 15 units

2 = PF'/PF

2 = PF'/12

PF' = 2(12) = 24 units
