Q. Triangle CDE is dilated by a scale factor of 55 to form triangle C'D'E'. Side EC measures 1616 . What is the measure of side EC \mathrm{E}^{\prime} \mathrm{C}^{\prime} ?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Understand Dilation Effect: Understand the effect of dilation on the sides of a triangle.\newlineDilation by a scale factor means that each side of the triangle will be multiplied by that factor to get the corresponding side in the dilated triangle.
  2. Apply Scale Factor: Apply the scale factor to the given side length.\newlineSince the scale factor is 55 and side ECEC measures 1616, we multiply 1616 by 55 to find the measure of side ECE'C'.\newlineCalculation: EC=EC×scale factor=16×5=80E'C' = EC \times \text{scale factor} = 16 \times 5 = 80
