Question

ANSWER Find the scale factor of the dilation shown in the diagram. 1/2 1/3 2 3

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

All dimensions have been scaled by a factor of 1/2

(e.g., 12 * 1/2 = 6)

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a scale factor, it applies to the entire shape and will have the same effect on each side of the shape.

1. Set up the equation with the corresponding sides of the new image over the pre-image

$\frac{6}{12}$ or $\frac{3}{6}$

2. Simplify to calculate

$\frac{6}{12}$ = 1/2

$\frac{3}{6}$ = 1/2
