Question

A rectangle is dialated using a scale factor of 6. The image is then dilated using a scale factor of one thirds. What scale factor could you use to dilate the original rectangle to get the final rectangle? Explain

Answer 1

If this rectangle is dilated using a scale factor of One-half through point B, what is the result?

Point B is the bottom left corner of rectangle X.

Explanation:

Answer 2

You can use a scale factor of 2 to dilate the original and get the final. I got this answer by doing:
y x 6 = 6y (y represents the original rectangle, 6y represents the second rectangle)

then, 6y x 1/3 = 2y (2y represents the final rectangle)

If you compare the original rectangle (y) to the final (2y), you see that the final is 2 times the original, therefore the scale factor is 2
