The two triangles are similar but not drawn to scale. What is the scale factor needed to perform a dilation from the triangle with side length 26 inches to the triangle with side length 106.6 inches?

1 answer

The scale factor needed to perform a dilation from the triangle with side length 26 inches to the triangle with side length 106.6 inches is:

106.6/26 ≈ 4.1

Therefore, the scale factor is approximately 4.1.
