Question

Parallelogram EFGH is similar to parallelogram JKLM .

What is the scale factor of a dilation from EFGH to JKLM ?

Answer 1

calcule the ratio of corresponding sides

EF = 28 cm after dilation get JK = 11,2 cm

28/11,2 = 2,5

EH = 14 cm after dilation get MJ = 5,6 cm

14/5,6 = 2,5

but bc. from 28 cm made by dilation 11,2 cm and from 14 cm get 5,6 cm so the scale factor will be -2,5

hope helped
