Question

Figure 2 is a dilation of figure 1. What is the scale factor used in the dilation? 32 2194

Answer 1

a factor is the number that multiplies a measure to convert it into another, so 8 multiplied by the factor gives 18

so

`8* x=18`

where x is the factor, now solve x

`\begin{gathered} 8* x=18 \\ x=(18)/(8)=(9)/(4) \end{gathered}`

the factor is 9/4
