7. A figure has a perimeter of 12 units. Which

describes the perimeter of the figure after a

dilation with a scale factor of 47

a. 3 units

b. 24 units

c. 48 units

d. 192 units

Correction, the scale factor is 4 not 47

Answer:

Option C

48 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the perimeter is initially 12, assume the figure is square hence the length and width will be 12/4=3 units

When dilated 4 times, the new dimensions will be 3*4=12

The perimeter of the same square will be 4*12=48 units

Therefore, the answer is 48 units
