With this.

OpenStudy (aveline):

Do you need help with both questions, or just finding the scale factor?

OpenStudy (anmsteelers):

both I think

OpenStudy (anmsteelers):

I think it is Enlargement

OpenStudy (aveline):

The dilation is smaller than the solid triangle, so it's a reduction.

OpenStudy (anmsteelers):

oh, how do I find the scale factor?

OpenStudy (aveline):

You need to find the areas of both the large and small triangles. Then, you divide the two values. Do you know how to find the areas of these triangles? A = 1/2 * b * h

OpenStudy (anmsteelers):

yes
