#"The endpoints of line segment is not change."#
#"length of line segment is :"sqrt(5)" unit"#

#"The original line segment and its endpoints has been shown in figure-1"#
#"The Point D represents dilation point"#

#"if factor=1 , locations of the endpoints of line segment will not change"#

#A'=(1,4)" and "B'=(3,5)#

#"length of the line segment can be calculated using"#

#a=sqrt((3-1)^2+(5-4)^2)#

#a=sqrt(2^2+1^2)#

#a=sqrt(4+1)#

#a=sqrt(5)" unit"#
