D.
13.2 cm

Answer 1

I’m not entirely sure but I think the answer is 6.4 cm.
3.2x2=6.4 cm

Answer 2

The required circumference of the gasket after dilation with scale factor 2 is 6.4 cm. Option C is correct.

A rubber gasket with a circumference of 3.2 cm is given. After expansion by scale factor 2 the circumference of the gasket is to be determined.

what is circumference?

The circumference is defined as the boundary length of any circular shape.

Here,
Circumference of gasket = 3.2 cm
After dilation with scale factor 2, the circumference became.
Dilated circumference of gasket = 2*3.2 = 6.4 cm

Thus, the required circumference of the gasket after dilation with a scale factor of 2 is 6.4 cm.
