Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the scale factor of the given dilation.

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. We are asked to find the scale factor of dilation.

The scale factor multiplied by the original side gives the length of new side after dilation, so we can set an equation as:

\text{Original length }\cdot \text{Scale factor}=\text{New length after dilation}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

2.5\cdot x=10

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 2.5 we will get,

\frac{2.5\cdot x}{2.5}=\frac{10}{2.5}

x=4

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is 4 and option B is the correct choice.

Scale factor = new length/old length

scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4

The scale factor is 4.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION

Answer:

y-k

x-h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given E &D, F would be at (x, k).

That means E to F would be y-k.

And F to D would be x-h.

I assume you don’t need to find E to D, since that’s just r. (You could use the Distance Formula or Pythagoreans theorem to come up with and equation, but it wouldn‘t be one of those listed.)
