Question

Find the scale factor where the pre-image is the large triangle and the image is the small triangle.

A. 4/5
B. 3/2.4
C. 2.4/3
D. 5/4

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

If the larger triangle (Preimage) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' to form the image triangle (small triangle),

Scale factor =
`\frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the preimage}}`

k =
`(3)/(2.4)`

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.
