quadrilateral qrst is dilated and translated to form similar figure qrst. what is the scale factor for the dilation?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Select corresponding sides
Choose side QR and Q'R'.
Step2: Measure lengths
Length of QR = 4 units, length of Q'R' = 2 units.
Step3: Calculate scale - factor
Scale factor $k=\frac{\text{length of Q'R'}}{\text{length of QR}}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$
Answer:
$\frac{1}{2}$
