Question

This is the same dilation that you used in Question 3.

What scale factor was used to create the dilated Triangle M'S'V'?
In your answer, give the scale factor that was used and explain how you
calculated it.

Answer 1

k = 2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

• k = 2/3

Explanation:

Find the length of two corresponding sides.

• MS = 6 - (-3) = 9 units
• M'S' = 4 - (-2) = 6 units

The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides:

• k = M'S'/MS = 6/9 = 2/3
