Answer:

PR' = 12units

Explanation:

When a figure is dilated, it means there is a transformation carried out on the figure. The dilation may cause the figure to increase or reduce in size depending on the dilation factor.

If the dilation factor of an object is greater than 1, the resulting image will be a magnified image otherwise, it will be a diminished image.

Given the dilation factor in question DP to be 4, this means that the new image formed will be 4times bigger than the original.

According to the diagram, side PR = 3, if this is dilated by factor of 4, the side PR' will be equal to 4*PR

PR' = 4 * PR

PR' = 4*3

PR' = 12units
