Question

Parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form similar parallelogram F'G'H'J'.



What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer 1

how many times does the original fit in the other

Answer 2

how are you suppose to find that out

Answer 3

translate figures into squares

Answer 4

2x2 and 16x16

Answer 5

4 and 256

Answer 6

sorry 8x8

Answer 7

thats 64

Answer 8

its 1/8 th

Answer 9

sorry i meant 8 i had it backwards

Answer 10

so its just 8?

Answer 11

thats what i found but you might need a better source

Answer 12

@jim_thompson5910 what you think?

Answer 13

@DullJackel09 we need an opinion

Answer 14

FG is 2 units long. Count the number of squares going from F to G

F'G' is 8 units long. Again, count the squares to determine this

Divide the segments

(length of F'G')/(length of FG) = 8/2 = 4

so the scale factor is actually 4

Answer 15

length of F'G' = 4*(length of FG)

so each corresponding side of F'G'H'J' is 4 times as long as FGHJ

Answer 16

I understand know . Thank you !
