Question

Find the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B and the center of dilation for each figure.1.2.BSt-SF=2.5Scak focorBА/А

Answer 1

Since the horizontal side of the triangle goes from 6 units to 2 units that means that the scale factor is 1/3.

Since the figures have the same center we conclude that the center of dilation is the origin, that is the point (0,0).
