Question

Rectangle M was dilated to form rectangle M’. What ratio is the scale factor?

Answer 1

Solution:

we are given that

Rectangle M was dilated to form rectangle M’.

we have been asked to find

What ratio is the scale factor?

we can find the required ratio by dividing the corresponding sides of the given rectangles as below:

$Ratio=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{2}{4/3}$

$Ratio=\frac{3}{2}=\frac{6}{4} \\ \\ \ Ratio=\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Hence the required ratio is 3/2.
