The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (6, 6)

What is the scale factor used to create the dilation? Enter your answer as an integer or decimal in the box.

Dilation of a figure will leave its sides get scaled (multiplied) by same number. That number is called the scale factor of that dilation.

Its also called scaling of a figure, but due the involvement of coordinates, it involves a center of a dilation, which is like a pinned point which stays at same place after dilation.

Its like we enlarge or shorten the size of the figure (or keep it same, when scale factor = 1).

In order to calculate the dilation from the solid triangle to the dashed triangle, we calculate the length of corresponding sides of both triangles.

The measure of the corresponding sides at:

Solid = 15

Dashed = 3

The scale factor (k) is then calculated as:

k = Dashed /Solid

This gives

k = 3/15

Divide;

k= 0.2

Hence, the scale factor from the solid triangle to the dashed triangle is 0.2.
