Question

Polygon D has been dilated to create polygon D′.

Polygon D with top and bottom sides labeled 8 and left and right sides labeled 9.5. Polygon D prime with top and bottom sides labeled 6.4 and left and right sides labeled 7.6.

Determine the scale factor used to create the image.

Scale factor of 0.6
Scale factor of 0.8
Scale factor of 1.2
Scale factor of 1.6

Answer 1

The correct answer is scal factor of 0.8

Answer 2

Answer: The scale factor used to create the image is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation: To determine the scale factor used to create the image, we can divide the corresponding side lengths of the dilated polygon D' by the corresponding side lengths of the original polygon D.

For example, the top and bottom sides of polygon D have a length of 8, while the corresponding sides of polygon D' have a length of 6.4.

So, the scale factor used to create the image is:

6.4 / 8 = 0.8

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the image is 0.8.
