To find the scale factor, divide the corresponding side length of the dilated image by the corresponding side length of the original figure:
Scale factor = Corresponding side length of dilated image / Corresponding side length of original figure
Scale factor = 15 yards / 20 yards
Scale factor = 0.75
Therefore, the scale factor you should use is 3 fourths.
If you want to dilate a figure that has a side length of 20 yards, to create a dilated image with a corresponding side length of 15 yards, what scale factor should you use?(1 point)
