The scale factor of the dilation of figure A to figure B is 3/2 based on the given parameters

<h3>What is dilation?</h3>

Dilation involves enlarging or reducing the side length of a shape to create another shape by a constant scale factor, where the scale factor does not equal one.

<h3>How to determine the scale factor of the dilation of figure A to figure B?</h3>

From the figure, we have the following corresponding sides in figure A and figure B

Side length on figure A = 8 cm
Corresponding side length on figure B = 12 cm

The scale factor of the dilation of figure A to figure B is calculated using the following scale factor formula

Scale factor = Figure B / Figure A

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Scale factor = 12/8

Divide 12 by 4 and then divide 8 by 4

Scale factor = 3/2

Based on the given parameters, the scale factor of the dilation of figure A to figure B is 3/2

Angle Number<br> Measure<br> 1<br> 2<br> 13<br> 1<br> 1267<br> 2<br> 3

Serggg [28]

Answer:

∠1=54°

∠2=54°

∠3 = 126°

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find ∠1, 2 and 3

Since a traversal cut parallel lines we would use supplementary angles , congruent angles rules to solve the problem.

Angle 1 and 126 are supplementary angles.

They add up to make 180

So, ∠1 + 126 = 180

∠1 = 180-126

∠1 =54

We get ∠1=54°

Now, ∠1 ≅ ∠2, because they are corresponding angles and if traversal cut parallel lines, corresponding angles are congruent.

So ∠1 ≅ ∠2 therefore, ∠2=54°

Now, for finding measure for ∠3, we know that 126 and ∠4 are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are congruent.

So, ∠4 = 126°

We know that ∠3 and ∠4 are vertical angles.

And if traversal cut parallel lines, vertical angles angles are congruent.

So, ∠3 = 126°
