to form quadrilateral H'I'J'K'. What is the measure of side KH?

1 answer

To find the measure of side KH in the dilated quadrilateral H'I'J'K', we need to consider the scale factor of 3/4.

If side K'H' is the dilated version of side KH, then the length of side K'H' is 3/4 times the length of side KH.

Therefore, if we know the length of side K'H' in the dilated quadrilateral H'I'J'K', we can find the length of side KH by dividing by the scale factor of 3/4.

So, if the length of side K'H' is x, then the length of side KH is:
KH = x / (3/4)
KH = x * (4/3)
KH = 4/3 * x

Therefore, the measure of side KH in the dilated quadrilateral H'I'J'K' is 4/3 times the length of side K'H'.
