Question

Rectangle A has a length of 6 and width of 4. Rectangle A prime has a length of 9 and width of 6. Find the scale factor of the dilation shown. 1/2 3/2 2 2/3

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The scale factor of the dilation
`=\frac32`

Explanation:

`\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Side in image}}{\text{Corresponding side in preimage}}`

Given: Rectangle A has a length of 6 and width of 4.

Rectangle A prime has a length of 9 and width of 6.

Scale factor =
`(9)/(6)\ \ \ or \ \ (6)/(4)`

`=\frac32`

Hence, the scale factor of the dilation
`=\frac32`
