Polygon ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with the center of dilation at the origin to create polygon A′B′C′D′. If the endpoints of AB¯¯¯¯¯ are located at (0, -7) and (8, 8), what is the length of A'B'¯¯¯¯¯¯¯? Use the distance formula to help you decide: d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

As a start : find the length of AB by using the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17

?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes! since you're dilating the picture by a factor of 2, the length also increases by a factor of 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply the length of AB by 2 to get the length of A'B'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

68 would me answer

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the value of 17*2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so 34 would be the length of A'B'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok THank you XD
