Question

Triangle D has been dilated to create Triangle D'. Use the image to answer the question

Determine the scale factor used.

4

3

1/3

1/4​

Answer 1

`\sf (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

A scale factor is the ratio between corresponding measurements of an object and the object after dilation. D' is smaller than D. So, the scale factor will be fraction.

`\sf (1.2)/(4.8)=(1)/(4)`

`\sf (1.3)/(5.2)=(1)/(4)`
