Question

Thomas draws figure F and its dilation, figure F9. What is the scale factor? WELP PLZ HELP

Answer 1

Option (C)

Explanation:

Formula to get the scale factor of any image from it's preimage,

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

From the figure attached,

F' is the image of preimage F after dilation.

Scale factor =
`\frac{\text{Length of A'B'}}{\text{Length of AB}}`

=
`(4)/(6)`

=
`(2)/(3)`

Therefore, Figure F has been dilated by a scale factor of
`(2)/(3)` to form F'.

Option (C). will be the answer.
