Math Problem Statement
UV is dilated by a scale factor of 22 to form start overline, U, prime, V, prime, end overline U ′ V ′
. start overline, U, V, end overline UV measures 66. What is the measure of start overline, U, prime, V, prime, end overline U ′ V ′
?
Solution
Given that segment is dilated by a scale factor of 22 to form segment , and the length of is 66, we need to find the length of .
The relationship between the original segment and the dilated segment is given by the formula:
Substituting the given values:
So, the length of is 1452 units.
