Answer:

  scale factor = (image distance)/(pre-image distance)

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor from a pre-image to an image is the ratio of some linear measurement of the image to the corresponding linear measurement of the pre-image:

  scale factor = (image distance)/(pre-image distance)

__

The corresponding measurements can be measurements of side length, arc length, diameter, circumference, perimeter, chord length, or the length of any point on the image to the center of dilation (if known). The only requirement is that <em>corresponding measurements</em> be used, and that they be linear dimensions, not areas or volumes or angles (or anything else with units other than distance units).

Answer:

To find the scale factor for a dilation, we find the center point of dilation and measure the distance from this center point to a point on the preimage and also the distance from the center point to a point on the image. The ratio of these distances gives us the scale factor

The measure of angle ABD is 105º. The measure of angle ABC is 75º.
MakcuM [25]

If we know that the WHOLE angle added is 105 and only part is 75 you need to subtract the whole angle and subtract from part of the whole angle.

105-75=30. You get 30 And that’s you answer!

Picture to help with your understanding.

Mary delivers 32 newspapers to her customers in 25 minutes. These deliveries represent 64% of her customers.
sveticcg [70]
<span>Ok. You would set up the problem like this: 32/x=64/100 and then cross multiply; 3200=64x; divide both sides by 64; x=50. Mary has 50 customers.</span>
