Question

If you want to dilate a figure that has a side length of 20 yards, to create a dilated image with a corresponding side length of 15 yards, what scale factor should you use?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A34 yard%0D%0A3%0D%0A4%0D%0A %0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A34 yard%0D%0A3%0D%0A4%0D%0A %0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A5 yards%0D%0A5%0D%0A %0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A5 yards%0D%0A5%0D%0A %0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A43%0D%0A4%0D%0A3%0D%0A4 thirds%0D%0A%0D%0A34

Answer 1

are you positive bot

Answer 2

To find the scale factor, divide the corresponding side length of the dilated image by the side length of the original figure:

Scale factor = Corresponding side length of dilated image / Side length of original figure
= 15 yards / 20 yards
= 0.75

Therefore, the scale factor should be 0.75.

Answer 3

Yes, I am certain that the correct scale factor is 0.75.
