Plz help I dont know this answer do if u can help plz do

Answer 1

The scale factor is 1/3

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the length side of the image (square A'B'C'D') by the length side of the pre-image (square ABCD)

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x----> the length side of the image (square AB'C'D')

y----> the length side of the pre-image (square ABCD)

`z=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x=2\ units\\y=6\ units`

substitute

`z=(2)/(6)`

simplify

`z=(1)/(3)`

The scale factor is less than 1, so the dilation is a reduction

therefore

The scale factor is 1/3
