Question

The image below shows two dilated figures with lines IJ and JK drawn. If the smaller figure was dilated by a scale factor of 2, what relationship do lines IJ and KL have?

Answer 1

IJ = 2*KL

Explanation:

Given that the smaller figure was dilated to create the bigger figure with a scale factor of 2, it therefore means, the dimensions of the smaller figure was increased by times 2 of its dimensions to create the bigger figure.

Thus, the relationship that would exist between line IJ and KL, is that IJ is twice the size of KL.

The relationship is: IJ = 2*KL
