triangle whose area is 12 cm² is transformed under enlargement about any point in space if the area of its image is 108 cm² find the scale factor of the enlargement
Answers
Given : triangle whose area is 12 cm² is transformed under enlargement about any point in space if the area of its image is 108 cm²
To find : the scale factor of the enlargement
Solution:
A triangle is transformed under enlargement about any point in space
Any triangle enlarged would be similar to original triangle
Let say scale factor of enlargements is k
Then ratio of sides of enlarged triangle to original triangle = k
Ratio of area of similar triangle = ( ratio of side )²
=> 108 / 12 = (k)²
=> 9 = k²
=> k = 3
scale factor of the enlargement = 3
