Answer:

(D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of the enlargement of ΔABC to ΔA'B'C' is given by the ratio of the length of the corresponding sides of ΔA'B'C' and ΔABC

Therefore, we have;

The \ scale \ factor = \dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {B'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {BC}} =  \dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {A'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {AC}} =  \dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {A'B'}}{Length \ of \overline {AB}}

\dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {B'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {BC}} =  \dfrac{2 \ units}{1 \ unit} = 2

\dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {A'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {AC}} =  \dfrac{4 \ units}{2 \ units} = 2

\dfrac{Length \ of \overline  {A'B'}}{Length \ of \overline {AB}} =  \dfrac{2 \cdot \sqrt{5}  \ units}{\sqrt{5}  \ units} = 2

Therefore, the scale factor = 2

WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:  8</h3>

Reason:

Replace p with 2 and evaluate.

p^3 = 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8

Think of a cube that is 2 units along each side. It's volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cubic units. Repeated multiplication can be shortened to using exponents.

Another example: 7^4 = 7*7*7*7
