Question

Identify the scale factor when we scale up from Figure S to T. Just write the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scale factor = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of preimage or original}}$

Since, S is being dilated with a scale factor to form T,

So, the figure S is the preimage and figure T will be the image,

Length of one side of image T = 8

Length of one side of preimage = 2

Therefore, Scale factor = $\frac{8}{2}$

                                       = 4

Scale factor by which figure S has been dilated to form figure T is 4.
