Q. Trapezoid GHIJ is dilated by a scale factor of 6 to form trapezoid G'H'I'J'. Side GH measures 14 . What is the measure of side G′H′ ?Answer:
Identify Side GH: Identify the original length of side GH and the scale factor for the dilation.Original length of side GH = 14 unitsScale factor for dilation = 6
Calculate Length G'H': Calculate the length of side G'H' after the dilation.To find the length of side G'H', multiply the original length of side GH by the scale factor.Length of G'H' = Original length of GH × Scale factorLength of G'H' = 14×6
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the length of side G′H′.Length of G′H′=14×6=84
