Question

The dashed figure is a dilation of the solid figure. Identify the type of dilation and find the scale factor. Do it for 7, and 8

Answer 1

The scale factor for #7 is 0.5, because the dotted rectangle is half the size of the shaded one. The scale factor for #8 is 3, because the dotted triangle is 3 times as big as the shaded one.
