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. 

The surface area would be 576 because you multiply all the numbers then multiply that number by 6
