if you want to dilate a sqaure with a side of 6 units to create a square with a side of 18 units, what scale factors should you use?

Answer 1

The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the length of the side of the larger square by the length of the side of the smaller square.

Scale factor = Length of larger square / Length of smaller square
Scale factor = 18 units / 6 units
Scale factor = 3

Therefore, you should use a scale factor of 3 to dilate the square.
