Question

A square has a side length of 1.2 feet. If the square is dilated by a factor of 2.5, what is the length of a side of the new square?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It starts out at 1.2 feet. In math, dilation means make larger or smaller, so I have to give you both answers. Check with your instructor to see what the question intends.

Larger

1.2 * 2.5 = 3

Smaller

1.2 / 2.5 = 0.48
