If you want to dilate a square with a side of 6 units to create a square

with a side of 18 units, what scale factor should you use? (1 point)

1 answer

The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of the new square by the length of the original square.

Scale factor = length of new square / length of original square
= 18 units / 6 units
= 3

Therefore, the scale factor should be 3.
