Line segment QR is dilated to create line segment Q'R' using the dilation rule DT,1.5. Point T is the center of dilation. Line segment Q R is dilated to create line segment Q prime R prime. The length of R T is 6 and the length of R prime R is y. What is y, the distance between points R and R'?

Answer:

[tex]y= 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]RT = 6[/tex]

[tex]k = 1.5[/tex] --- dilation ratio

See attachment

Required

Determine length, y

First, we calculate length R'T.

Since point T is the center of dilation, then:

[tex]R'T = k * RT[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]R'T = 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]R'T = 9[/tex]

y is between R'T and RT;

So:

[tex]y = R'T - RT\\[/tex]

[tex]y = 9 -6[/tex]

[tex]y= 3[/tex]
