To determine the scale factor of the dilation from figure ABCD to figure A’B’C’D’, you can compare the lengths of corresponding sides of both figures.
1. Measure a side of figure ABCD (e.g., AB) and a corresponding side of figure A’B’C’D’ (e.g., A’B’).
2. Divide the length of the side in the new figure (A’B’) by the length of the side in the original figure (AB). This will give you the scale factor.
For example, if AB measures 2 units and A’B’ measures 4 units, then the scale factor is 4/2 = 2.
Without specific measurements or ratios provided, I can’t specify the exact scale factor from the answer options. You would follow this method with the actual measurements to find the answer more accurately.
