Question

Figure 2 is the image of Figure 1. What is the scale factor?

Answer 1

Scale factor = (2/5)

Step-by-step explanation

The scale factor shows the extent to which the original image has been dilated (enlarged or reduced). It is given mathematically as

`\text{Scale factor = }\frac{Length\text{ of a side of the image}}{Length\text{ of the corresponding side of the original figure}}`

From the image attached we can see that

Length of a side of the image = 4 dots

Length of the corresponding side of the original image = 10 dots

Scale factor = (4/10) = (2/5)

Hope this Helps!!!
