Question

If you want to dilate an isosceles right triangle was hypotenuse of 15 yards to create a dilated image with a hypotenuse of 12 yards what scale factor would you use

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we need to divide the new hypotenuse length (12 yards) by the original hypotenuse length (15 yards):

Scale factor = 12 / 15 = 0.8
