If you would like to dilate a square with a side length of 8 units to create a
new square, you can use the formula for dilation:
S' = k * S
where S' is the side length of the new square, S is the side length of the original square, and k is the dilation factor.
If you want to dilate the square with a factor of 2, then you would have:
S' = 2 * 8
S' = 16 units
So, the side length of the new square would be 16 units.
