Triangle TUV is dilated by a scale factor of \frac{1}{3} 1/3
to form triangle T'U'V'. Side U'V' measures 33. What is the measure of side UV?

Respuesta :

The measure side UV will equal 11 if triangle TUV is dilated by a scale factor 1/3 having a side U'V'=33.

What is the scale factor?

The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure. It is a process of enlarging the image of an object by some factor.

here we have the scale factor

[tex]Scale \ Factor=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Since the triangle, TUV is dilated by the scale factor 1/3 then the sides of triangle will also be in the same dilation so we can write.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{UV}{U'V'}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{UV}{33}[/tex]

[tex]UV=11[/tex]

Hence the measure side UV will equal 11 if triangle TUV is dilated by a scale factor 1/3 having a side U'V'=33.
