Need help with one geometry question please will give medal and fan thanks (:

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

one way of finding scale factor if you have original figure and dilated figure is dividing side lengths

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

if original side length is 2 and dilated side length is 6 6/2 = 3 ---> scale factor was 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you divide the original side length by the dilated one to get the scale factor? Wow seems easy thank you for explaining so well! (:

What dumbcow said was correct, a very simple way on how to find the scale factor of a dilation.
