Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale of dilation, you have to compare the ratio of the after transform with before transform according to the center of dilation. In this case, the center of dilation is Q so you have to compare QA' : QA. We know that QA= 1.25 and AA' is 1.25. The distance of QA' will be:
QA'= QA + AA'= 1.25 + 1.25 = 2.5
The scale factor will be:
scale factor= QA' : QA.= 2.5 : 1.25
scale factor= 2
Rounding to the nearest tenth means rounding to the decimal place directly to the right of the decimal.
The rules of rounding are fairly simple. If the number to the right of the number you are rounding is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If the number to the right is less than 5, you round down.
Let's take a look at the number 12.345.
First, round to the hundredths place. The number right before the 4 is 5, so we round up. This gives us the number 12.35.
Next, we have to round to the tenths place. The number to the right of the 3 is 5, so we round up as well. This gives us the number 12.4.
Answer: 12.4
