i need help please

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the original triangle length of Side A to C is 4, then the answer is two. If the original traingle length is Side A to C on the original triangle is 8, then the answer is 1/2.

Answer 2

The scale factor of the dilation is 1/2.

What is scale factor?

Scale factor is defined as the number or the conversion factor which is used to change the size of a figure without changing its shape. It is used to increase or decrease the size of an object. The scale factor can be calculated if the dimensions of the original figure and the dimensions of the dilated (increased or decreased) figure are known.

The basic formula to find the scale factor of a figure is expressed as,

Scale factor = Dimensions of the new shape ÷ Dimensions of the original shape.

Given:

Before dilation

AC= 8, BC= 10 abd AB= 6

After dilation

AC= 4, BC= 5 and AB= 3

Now, scale factor

Scale factor = Dimensions of the new shape / Dimensions of the original shape.

So,

scale factor = 4/8  or 5/10  or  3/6 = 1/2

Hence, the scale factor is 1/2.
