What is the scale factor in the dilation?
1 answer:
The scale factor of the given dilation is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In order to determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.
In the given graph, the preimage has a length of 3 units while the image has a length of 9 units.
Step 2:
So here the measurement after scaling is the length of the image which is 9 units and the measurement before scaling is the preimages length of 3 units.
The scale factor
So the scale factor is the third option 3.

Let us call the distance AB of Y (in the problem nothing is said about this dimension, so lets call of Y).
From the attached drawing we can conclude that:
AB + BC = AC
where
AB = Y
BC = 2X + 4
AC = 24
then
AB + BC = AC
Y + (2X + 4) = 24
<h2>X = (20 - Y)/2</h2><em>In my view this question is incomplete</em>
