Question

Determine the scale factor of the dilation, if OA = 8 and OA' = 32

Answer 1

scale factor = 4

Explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor =
`(OA')/(OA)` =
`(32)/(8)` = 4

Answer 2

The scale factor is 4

Explanation:

32(end product) divided by 8(original) = 4
