Fast! line segment ab was dilated to create line segment a’b’ using the dilation rule dq0.12•

The correct answer option is C. 13.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment AB was dilated to create the line segment A'B' using the dilation rule .

We are to find the value of which is the distance between the twp points A and A'.

For this, we will divide the distance of A'Q by the dilation factor and then subtract the given length.

x = = 13.6 units

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
