A line segment is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered at a point not on the line segment. Which statement regarding the relationship between the given line segment and its image is true?
A The line segments are parallel, and the image is twice the length of the given line segment.
B. The line segments are parallel, and the image is one-half of the length of the given line segment.
C. The line segments are perpendicular, and the image is twice the length of the given line segment.
DD The line segments are perpendicular, and the image is one-half of the length of the given line segment.

  A The line segments are parallel, and the image is twice the length of the given line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation by a factor of 2 means any measure of the image is 2 times the corresponding measure of the original.

Dilation does not change any orientations, so the image will have the same orientation with respect to the origin, axes, or any other line segments. That means the dilated segment is parallel to the original. (If the center of dilation is on the original line segment, the dilated segment will overlay the original segment. That is specifically not the case here.)

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
