Line Dilations

When lines are dilated, the length of the image or new line is larger or smaller by the scale factor. Multiply the length of the original line by the scale factor.

Poll

Line AB is dilated by a factor 3.5 to form line A'B'. If the length of segment AB is 5 inches, what is the length of of segment A'B' ?
