The image of the parallelogram which is larger than the preimage,
indicates that the scale factor is larger than 1.
Correct response:
- The scale factor of the dilation is 4
Which is the Method used for finding the scale factor
The scale factor is found by finding the ratio of the corresponding sides.
The possible given diagram in the question is a parallelogram FGHJ
dilated to form the similar parallelogram, F'G'H'J'.
The length of side FG = -2 - (-4) = 2
The length of side F'G' = 3 - (-5) = 8
- [tex]The \ scale \ factor = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Length \ of \ F'G'}{Length \ of \ FG} }[/tex]
Which gives;
[tex]The \ scale \ factor = \dfrac{8}{2} = 4[/tex]
