The square with side length 2 cm is dilated by a scale factor of 7/3 is the dilated image larger or smaller than the original image? explain how you know.

Length of square side= 2 cm
Dilation factor= 7/3
Simplify 7/3= 2.33
Apply the dilation factor:
Length of side= 2.33 x 2 = 4.67 cm
As the length of the side of the square is increased in length, which means the dilated image is larger than the original image.

Larger than then original.
