What is x, the distance between points s and s ?

  SS' = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances on segment QS' are 2/1.2 = 5/3 times those of corresponding parts on segment QT'.

  5/3 · 1.5 = 2.5

x = 2.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule.

TQ = 1.2 units, TT'=1.5 ,SQ = 2 units,  SS' = x units.

We know that , dilation creates similar figures.

If we consider the given situation, we get

⇒ ΔSTQ and ΔS'T'Q must be similar.

Corresponding sides of similar triangle must be proportional .

Hence, the distance between points S and S  = 2.5 units
