How do u find the scale factor of dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to understand what is dilation?

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.

• A dilation that creates a larger image is called an enlargement. and its scale factor is greater than 1

• A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction. and its scale factor is smaller than 1

To find the scale factor of dilation, we need to identify the coordinates of one point in the original shape and the coordinates of one point in the scaled shape. Then divide the x-coordinate of the scaled point by the x-coordinate of the original point.

For example:

=> the the scale factor of dilation = 2 / 1 = 2

Hope it can find you well

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are

10

step-by-step explanation:

7+3=10
