To dilate a figure, we multiply the side lengths by a scale factor.
In this case, the original square has a side length of 8 units, and we want to dilate it to a square with a side length of 10 units.
To find the scale factor, we divide the desired side length (10 units) by the original side length (8 units):
10 units / 8 units = 1.25.
Therefore, the scale factor to dilate the square is 1.25.
