The scale factor of the dilation from ABCD to A′B′C′D′ is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the pre-image ABCD, the length of one of the sides is given as 14 units.
For the other shape A′B′C′D′, the same side as the previous shape is given as 8 units.
Step 2:
To determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.
In this case, it is the given length of the sides CD and C′D′.
So the scale factor =
So the shape ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of to produce the shape A′B′C′D′.
That's a 33% increase.
I calculated this using the formula:
Where n = the new value (16 in your question), o = the old value (12 in your question) and the result is outputted as a percent increase. You can check that this is correct by finding 33% of 12, adding the result to 12, and checking that the result equals your "new" number.
Note that 33% is only an approximation as your question requires a number rounded to the nearest whole.
