Question

The first figure is dilated to form the second figure.

Answer 1

1) The scale factor is 0.25 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The first figure is dilated to form the second figure. The shape is a rhombus.

It is given that the side length of the first figure is 5.8 and the side length of the second figure is 1.45.

Step 2:

To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling. In this case, it is the side length of the rhombus.

The scale factor $= \frac{1.45}{5.8} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25.$

So the scale factor is 0.25. This is the first option.
