Question

Your friend prints a 4-inch by 6- inch photo for you from the school dance. All you have is an 6-inch by 8- inch frame. Can you dilate the photo to fit the frame?

Answer 1

No...u cant.

ur friend has a print that is 4 in. by 6 in. If u apply a scale factor of 1.5...
4 * 1.5 = 6 inches
6 * 1.5 = 9 inches
this does not fit the frame....if the frame was 6 in by 9 in, then it would work...but not 6 in. by 8 in

Answer 2

The picture cannot be dilated to fit the frame. This is because one side of the picture is already 6-inches. So, therefore you cannot dilate the picture to fit the frame.
