A scale factor (k) is a number by which the size of any geometrical figure or shape can change:
• If the image is ,enlarged,, then the ,scale factor is more than one (,k > 1,).
,
• If the image is ,contracted,, then the ,scale factor is less than one (0 < k < 1).
Then, the smaller the scale factor, the smaller the figure. In our case, the options given are:
And if we evaluate the size of the dilated figures, we can see that:
[tex]BA is the biggest while B is the smallest.
Then we can suppose the scale factors.
Answer:
• A goes with 3/4
,
• C goes with 1/2
,
• B goes with 1/4
