Question

figure abcd is dilated from point q, the center of dilation.
write the relationship between the
corresponding side lengths as a fraction.
mn/ab = 2/8
what is the scale factor of the dilation?
scale factor = ?
1/4
1/2
2
4

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction

We have the fraction \(\frac{MN}{AB}=\frac{2}{8}\).
To simplify \(\frac{2}{8}\), we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 2 and 8 is 2.
\(\frac{2\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{1}{4}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
