Megan dilates $$\triangle {JKL}$$ about point $${J}$$ by a scale factor of $$\frac{3}{5}$$ to create $$\triangle {JNO}$$. ![](http://admin.getprephub.com/media/editor/g14_20230225202349379715.png) What is the length, in inches, of $$NO$$?

Since $$\triangle {JKL}$$ is dilated about point $${J}$$ by a scale factor of $$\frac{3}{5}$$ to create $$\triangle {JNO}$$. Therefore, $$\triangle {JKL}$$ is similar to $$\triangle {JNO}$$ $$\frac{J K}{J N}=\frac{K L}{N O}=\frac{J L}{J O}$$ Also it is given that the scale factor is $$\frac{3}{5}$$ $${NO}=\frac{3}{5} \times K L=\frac{3}{5} \times 10=6$$ inch
