The scale factor can be found by dividing the final hypotenuse by the original hypotenuse:
Scale factor = Final hypotenuse / Original hypotenuse
Scale factor = 1.05 cm / 7 cm
Scale factor = 0.15
Therefore, the scale factor is 0.15.
The hypotenuse of a triangle was 7 cm and after a dilation the final hypotenuse is 1.05 cm. What is the scale factor?
