To dilate a square with a side length of eight units to create a square with a side length of 20 units, we need to determine the scale factor.

The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the desired side length (20 units) by the original side length (8 units):

Scale Factor = Desired Side Length / Original Side Length
Scale Factor = 20 units / 8 units
Scale Factor = 2.5

Therefore, the scale factor to dilate the square is 2.5 (or 2.5 times the original size).
