Check the picture below.
neverminding for a few seconds the volume of the cylinder, the percentage in the height used by the water will be the same as the percentage of its volume. We know the total amount or 100% of the height is 14, so what is 11 in percentage?
Answer: The correct option is (A). 3.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the scale factor of dilation from ΔABC to ΔDEF.
As shown in the figure, the lengths of the sides of ΔABC to ΔDEF are
AB = 5 units, BC = 4 units, CA = 3 units,
DE = 15 units, EF = 12 units, FD = 9 units.
We know that the scale factor is given by
Therefore, the scale factor of dilation from from ΔABC to ΔDEF is
Thus, the required scale factor is 3.
Option (A) is correct.
