To determine the scale factor of the dilation between trapezoid C’D’E’F’ and trapezoid CDEF, we need to compare the lengths of corresponding sides of the two trapezoids.
1. Identify the lengths of sides: Check the lengths of the corresponding sides of both trapezoids.
2. Calculate the scale factor: Divide the length of a side from trapezoid C’D’E’F’ by the length of the corresponding side from trapezoid CDEF.
If, for example, the lengths indicate that each side of C’D’E’F’ is twice as long as the corresponding side in CDEF, the scale factor would be 2. Conversely, if they’re half as long, the scale factor would be 1/2.
Without the specific lengths, I can’t provide a precise answer. However, if you confirm the lengths of corresponding sides, I can help you calculate the scale factor.
Now, based on common scenarios:
– If C’D’E’F’ appears larger than CDEF by a multiple of 2, the answer is A) 2.
– If it’s a multiple of 3, then the answer is B) 3.
– If smaller by a factor of 2, then C) 1/2.
– If smaller by a factor of 3, then D) 1/3.
Please provide the side lengths or details if you have them, or check the options against your specific measurements!
