Question

If the scale factor for the dilation shown is 3, which is the length of B’C’? 5/3 8 12 15

Answer 1

Letter D “15”

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\boxed{B'C' = 15}`

Explanation:

Scale Factor = 3

Using Formula:

Scale Factor =
`(LengthOfDilatedTriangle)/(Length of Actual Triangle)`

Scale Factor =
`(B'C')/(BC)`

Where Scale Factor = 3, BC = 5

So,

B'C' = 3 * 5

B'C' = 15
