The length of AB¯¯¯¯¯ is 5 units.
What is the length of the image of the line segment after a dilation with a scale factor of 52?
is the answer: 25/2 ?????????????????????
correct
To find the length of the image after a dilation with a scale factor of 52, you need to multiply the length of the original line segment by the scale factor.
In this case, the length of AB¯ is given as 5 units. So, the length of the image would be:
Length of image = Length of AB¯ × Scale factor
= 5 units × 52
= 260 units
Therefore, the correct answer is 260 units, not 25/2.
