Full solution

Q. Triangle TUVTUV is dilated by a scale factor of 23\frac{2}{3} to form triangle TUVT'U'V'. What is the measure of side UVUV?
  1. Identify length: Identify the original length of side UVUV. Assume UV=9cmUV = 9\,\text{cm}.
  2. Apply scale factor: Apply the dilation scale factor to UV to find the length of U'V'. Calculation: 9 cm×239 \text{ cm} \times \frac{2}{3}.
  3. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the new length. 9×23=69 \times \frac{2}{3} = 6 cm.
