Triangle PQR is transformed to similar triangle P'Q'R'. A coordinate grid is shown from negative 10 to 0 to positive 10 on both x- and y-axes at increments of 1. A triangle PQR has P at ordered pair 3, 3, Q at 6, 3, R at 3, 6. A polygon P prime Q prime R prime has P prime at ordered pair 1, 1, Q prime at ordered pair 2, 1, R prime at ordered pair 1, 2. What is the scale factor of dilation?

Answer:

The scale factor is 1/4

Explanation:

The length of the legs, PQ and PR are 4 units.

The lengths of the legs, P'Q' and P'R' are 1 unit.

Since the legs (and triangle) got smaller we know that the scale factor is between 0 and 1.

So.. 4 * x = 1

divide both sides by 4

x = 1/4



Hope this helps!
