Question

what is the scale factor of the dilation? scale factor =

Explanation:

Step1: Find the length of a corresponding side in the original and dilated figure

Original side \(CB = 4 - 0=4\) units. Dilated side \(C'B'=8 - 0 = 8\) units.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

Scale factor \(k=\frac{\text{length of dilated side}}{\text{length of original side}}\). So \(k=\frac{8}{4}\).

Answer:

\(2\)
