Question

In ABC, the measure of sides c is 3.9 cm If DEF is a dilation ABC with a scale factor of 2.5 what is the measure of side f

Answer 1

`F = 9.75cm`

Explanation:

Given

In ABC;

`C = 3.9cm`

`Dilation = 2.5`

Required

Determine side F

In the given question;

DEF is a dilation of ABC

Comparing both triangles side by side,

Side F is a direct dilation of side C and this is calculated as follows

`F = Dilation * C`

`F = 2.5 * 3.9cm`

`F = 9.75cm`
