A dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 is applied to the three line segments shown. The resulting images are A′B′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, ​D′E′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯​ , and R′S′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

1 answer

The images will be half the length of the original line segments.

If AB = 6 units, then A'B' will be 3 units long.
If DE = 8 units, then D'E' will be 4 units long.
If RS = 10 units, then R'S' will be 5 units long.
