You use skill factor of 3/4 to create a dilated circle with a radius of 9 inches what is the radius of the original circle?

Answer 1

To find the radius of the original circle, we can use the formula for dilation:

Dilated radius = Skill factor * Original radius

Given that the skill factor is 3/4 and the dilated radius is 9 inches, we can substitute the values into the formula and solve for the original radius:

9 inches = (3/4) * Original radius

To isolate the Original radius, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (4/3):

(4/3) * 9 inches = Original radius

Thus, the radius of the original circle is 12 inches.
