To find the scale factor of the dilation from triangle EFG to triangle E’F’G’, you can use the formula:
[
text{Scale Factor} = frac{text{Length of a side in } E’F’G’}{text{Corresponding length of the same side in } EFG}
]
1. Measure the lengths of corresponding sides from both triangles (for example, EF and E’F’).
2. Divide the length of the side in triangle E’F’G’ by the length of the corresponding side in triangle EFG.
Ensure that you simplify your answer to a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number if possible.
Once you have the side lengths, plug the values into the formula to calculate the scale factor. If you need further assistance with the specific measurements, feel free to ask!
