Question

Figure A’B’C’D’ is a dilation of figure ABCD. What is the scale factor?

Trapezoid A B C D with side C D equal to 2 and side A D equal to 5. Next to it is a larger trapezoid, A prime B prime C prime D prime, with side C prime D prime equal to 4.5 and side A prime D prime equal to 11.2 5.

The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the corresponding sides of the two figures.

Scale factor = (Side A'D' / Side AD) = 11.25 / 5 = 2.25

Therefore, the scale factor is 2.25.
