Question

unit 2 lesson 4 - Point C is the dilation of point B with the center of dilation A and scale factor S. Estimate S. What is the best estimate for the scale factors?

Answer 1

Scale factor is simply the ratio of sides of two corresponding figures

The estimated scale factor is 1.5

From the question, we have:

• The actual figure is AB
• The dilation is AC
• The center of dilation is A

So, the scale factor (S) would be:

$\mathbf{S = \frac{AC}{AB}}$

The actual measurements are not given; so, we will make use of estimates

The estimates to use are:

$\mathbf{AB = 1}$

$\mathbf{AC = 1.5}$

So, the scale factor is:

$\mathbf{S = \frac{1.5}{1}}$

$\mathbf{S = 1.5}$

Hence, the estimated scale factor is 1.5
