Question

Given triangles MNP and QRP are similar triangles, and side MN equals 16 in and QR equals 48 in, what is the scale factor of the dilation from triangle MNP to QRP? "

Answer 1

Scale Factor 3

Explanation:

According to the Question,

• Given That, triangles MNP and QRP are similar triangles, and side MN equals 16 in and QR equals 48 .

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation from triangle MNP to QRP is

• Scale Factor = QR/MN ⇒ 48/16 ⇒ Scale Factor 3
