Effects of Changing the Dimensions of a Figure

Question 6 • LAUSD-Geometry B (Prescriptive) - Summer

A square with side length 5.5 mm is increased by a factor of 11. What will be the perimeter of the square after dilation?

Answer
A
22 mm
B
60.5 mm
C
242 mm
D
2,662 mm

Explanation

A dilation by a factor of 11 multiplies each side length by 11, so the new side is 5.5 × 11 = 60.5 mm. A square has four equal sides, so its perimeter is 4 × 60.5 = 242 mm. The correct choice is 242 mm.
