The diameter of a circle was

Question

9 cm and the diameter of the final circle was
54 cm. What is the scale factor?

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, you can divide the diameter of the final circle by the diameter of the initial circle.

Given:

• Diameter of the initial circle = 9 cm
• Diameter of the final circle = 54 cm

Scale factor = (Diameter of final circle) / (Diameter of initial circle)

Scale factor = 54 cm / 9 cm = 6

So, the scale factor is 6.
