Question

Parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form

Answer 1

Answer:

4 on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:  The required scale factor of the dilation is 4.  

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form similar parallelogram F'G'H'J'.

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation.

From the graph, we note that

JH = 2 units   and   J'H' = 8 units.

We know that

$\textup{Scale factor of dilation}=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the correponding side of the original figure}}.$

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is

$S=\dfrac{J'H'}{JH}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow S=4.$

Thus, the required scale factor of the dilation is 4.
