27.usa cuts out rectangular pieces of paper and lays them out as shown in the drawing. Each rectangular piece of shaded paper is 6 cm long, while the unshaded paper is 8 cm long. What is the shortest length
at which the pieces of paper will line up across both rows?

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
