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.

What is the value of x?
Dmitriy789 [7]
You have to start with the left triangle and find the side lengths. Since it is a 45-45-90, both sides are the same. Rule for this is hyp= sqrt2 * leg
Since hyp = 6sqrt2, the leg is 6.
The leg is also the hypotenuse of the triangle on the right side.
x is the side across from the hypotenuse and it is the short leg so x = (1/2)6
x = 3
