Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 is scale factor of a dilation from LMNP to DEFG.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two figure LMNP and DEFG.

We need to find the scale factor of dilation from LMNP to DEFG

Dilation of figure is ratio of length of side of new figure to original figure.

New figure is DEFG and Original figure is LMNP

Ratio should be corresponding side of figure.

LM is corresponding to DE.

$\text{Scale factor }=\frac{DE}{LM}\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{6}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Thus, 2.5 is scale factor of a dilation from LMNP to DEFG.

Answer 2

To work out the scale factor, divide one of the sides from the larger shape from the smaller shape so:
15/6 = 2.5
So your scale factor would be 2.5
And to check this, multiply 2.5 by 6 and u should get 15, so you know it is correct! :)
