Question

What is the scale factor of the dilation shown? (HELP PLEASE)

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

scale factor of the dilation

ratio of same side of given fig is constant

in this fig 3/2 .

it is correct

Answer 2

The scale factor of the dilation shown in the given figures is 2/3

Step-by-step Explanation

Given two figures, an original triangle(ABC) and a new triangle(A'B'C') upon dilation.

To be found: To find the scale factor of the given dilation.

Solution:

Here, the original figure is $\triangle ABC$ and the new figure is $\triangle A'B'C'$

The scale factor of the dilation is given by the formula,

Scale factor = Dimension of the side of the new figure/ Dimension of the side of the original figure

Considering the side AB and A'B' of $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle A'B'C'$ respectively, we get

Scale factor = A'B'/ AB

Substituting the values, we get

Scale factor = 8/12

$\implies$ Scale factor = 2/3

Therefore, the scale factor is 2/3 for the dilation shown in the figure.
