Question

Two similar polygons are shown below:

Answer 4

As it is obvious from the figure, the ratio of the corresponding sides will be:
\[\frac{ P'Q' }{ PQ }=\frac{ Q'S' }{ QS }=\frac{ S'R' }{ SR }=\frac{ R'P' }{ RP }=\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 1 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 1 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 1 }=3\]

Answer 5

So the dilation factor is 3.
The new one is bigger three times as the smaller one.

Answer 6
