Question

Rectangle M was dilated to form rectangle M'.

What ratio is the scale factor?

Answer 1

The scale factor is the ratio 3/2

Explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached image

we know that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

In this problem rectangle M and rectangle M' are similar

so

The scale factor is equal to

`(6)/(4)=(3)/(2)`

The scale factor is greater than 1

so

The dilation is an enlargement
