Question

Figure 1 is dilated to get Figure 2.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it's 5 over 10! Hope I helped =)

Answer 2

Given two diamonds with same shape but different sizes.

The side given of one diamond = 10 units.

And the corresponding side of the other diamond = 24 units.

To find the scale factor of them, we need to find the ratio of the sides.

So here scale factor = $10:24$ = $\frac{10}{24}$

Now we have to simplify the fraction. We can simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor of it.

The common factor of 10 and 24 is 2. If we divide 10 by 2, we will get 5 and if we divide 24 by 2, we will get 12.

So we will get,

$\frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}$

We have got the required answer.

The scale factor is $\frac{5}{12}$.
