Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you uploaded an image containing some geometry problems related to transformations and dilations on a coordinate plane. Let's focus on question 3, as it seems to be the main one from your query:
Question 3: "Given the pre-image and image of triangle ABC, what is the scale factor of dilation?"
Looking at the two triangles in the diagram, the pre-image is the smaller triangle ABC, and the larger triangle is the image after dilation.
To find the scale factor, you can use the formula:
From the graph:
- Pre-image triangle ABC has a vertical height from point to , so the height is 2 units.
- Image triangle (dilated triangle) has a vertical height from point to , so the height is 8 units.
Thus, the scale factor is:
So, the scale factor of the dilation is 4.

Here are 5 related questions:
- What is the effect of a scale factor greater than 1 on a geometric figure?
- How can you determine the center of dilation given a pre-image and an image?
- What would happen to the triangle if the scale factor were less than 1?
- Can a dilation change the orientation of a figure, and why or why not?
- What is the formula for dilation in a coordinate plane when the center is not the origin?
Tip: When dealing with dilations, always compare corresponding points or sides to accurately find the scale factor.
