Find the length of AB.
Find the length of A'B'
The ratio of the lengths will give the scale factor.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How would i find the length?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Subtract them?
OpenStudy (aum):
Use the distance formula. Distance between \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is:
\(\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\)

4?

A (9,4), B (5, -4)
Length of AB = \(\sqrt{(9-5)^2 + (4 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{4^2+8^2} = \sqrt{16+64} \\ =
\sqrt{80} = \sqrt{16 * 5} = 4\sqrt{5} \).
Do the same with A'B'

5 sqrt 2? @aum
OpenStudy (aum):
A' (6,3), B' (3, -3)
Length of A'B' = \(\sqrt{(6-3)^2 + (3 - (-3))^2} = \sqrt{3^2+6^2} = \sqrt{9+36} \\ =
\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 * 5} = 3\sqrt{5}\).
Scale factor = Length of the image A'B' / Length of the original AB =
\(\Large \frac{3\sqrt{5}}{4\sqrt{5}} = \frac 34\)
