. What is the measure of start overline, A, prime, B, prime, end overline
A

?

Answer 1

I think some formatting got lost — do you mean the original segment has length 18 and the scale factor is 33 (thirty-three), or something else (like 3/3)?

If the original segment is 18 and the scale factor is 33, then A′B′ = 18 × 33 = 594 (because a dilation multiplies all lengths by the scale factor).

If you meant a different scale factor, tell me which and I’ll recalculate.
