You use skill factor of three over four to create a dilated circle with a radius of 9 inches what is the radius of the original circle?

1 answer

The formula for dilation is: Dilated radius = Skill factor * Original radius

Given that the skill factor is three over four and the dilated radius is 9 inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the original radius:

Original radius = Dilated radius / Skill factor
Original radius = 9 / (3/4)
Original radius = 9 * (4/3)
Original radius = 12 inches

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