Triangle STV was dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to form S'T'V'. What is the scale factor of the dilation?
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape. The triangle for this question is shown below. The choices for this question is as follows:
1/3
2/3
3/2
3/1
I believe the correct answer is 1/3. The scale factor an be calculated by dividing the corresponding measurements of both shapes. In this case we can use the height. 4/12 = 1/3
Answer:
The answer is 1/3 :)
