Question

50 POINTS ASAP Polygon D has been dilated to create polygon D′.

Polygon D with top and bottom sides labeled 8 and left and right sides labeled 9.5. Polygon D prime with top and bottom sides labeled 9.6 and left and right sides labeled 11.4.

Determine the scale factor used to create the image.

Scale factor of 1.6
Scale factor of 1.2
Scale factor of 0.9
Scale factor of 0.8

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 1.2

Explanation:

Just trust me.

Answer 2

1.2

Explanation:

based on your description the top sides are corresponding pairs, the bottom sides are corresponding sides, the left sides are corresponding sides, and the right sides are corresponding sides between the 2 polygons.

the dilation (scaling) is happening for all points on the polygon with the same scaling factor.

so, we only need to find the scaling factor f between one of these corresponding pairs.

8×f = 9.6

f = 9.6/8 = 1.2
