Question

A triangle is dilated.the image of the dilation is the dashed triangle which is the scale of the dilation

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two right triangles. The scale factor is the sides of the dashed triangle divided by the sides of the triangle with the painted line.

Dashed:

One side is 9(3 -(-6)) = 3 + 6 = 9

The other side is also 9.

Painted:

The sides are 6(4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6).

Scale of the dilation:

Dilated/original = 9/6 = 3/2
