Question

Quadrilateral A'B'C'D' Is the image of quadrilateral ABCD under a dilation.

What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer 1

Scale factor =
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Formula for the dilation to be used,

Scale factor =
`\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}`

=
`(A'B')/(AB)`

=
`(1)/(4)`

Therefore, scale factor by which quadrilateral ABCD has been dilated to form image quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is
`(1)/(4)`.
