Question

a square has a perimeter of 52 mm. The square is dilated by a scale factor of 3. what is the side length of the resulting image?

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

Since a square has 4 equal sides, it's safe to do
`(52)/(4)` to get each side length (each side is 13 mm).

Dilating a side means you're multiplying it by the scale factor. This means that you're doing
`13*3` to each side (each side is 39 mm).
