Asked by Supreme $TO

Point Q is the center of dilation. Lines segment S U is dilated to form line segment S prime U prime. The length of Q S is 3 .2 and the length of Q U is 4. The length of S S prime is 4.8 and the length of U U prime is x.
Line segment SU is dilated to create S'U' using the dilation rule DQ,2.5.

What is the distance, x, between points U' and U?

Explanation: Dilation with factor 2.5 sends Q→Q, distances from Q multiply by 2.5. So U' is 2.5·QU away from Q, and UU' = (2.5−1)·QU = 1.5·4 = 6.
