Example Question #11 : Dilations Given Center And Scale Factor: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Srt.A.1
If the blue figure is an object and the red is an object after dilation, what is the scale factor?
The best way to solve for the scale factor is to find the same vertex from each object, and divide their components.
Let's use and
Let's divide the x-coordinates together.
Since we are going from the larger object to the smaller object, we know that our scale factor is going to be less than one.
So our final answer is going to be.
Example Question #121 : High School: Geometry
Which of the other triangles is similar to ?
None of the above
The correct image is as follows.
This is the correct answer because it has similar angles, and if we do some simple math, we can figure out what the missing angle is in the original picture.
Looking at the original picture,
the two known angles can be added together. Recall all interior angles of a triangle have a sum of 180.
Now solve for B, to figure out what the missing angle is.
Now if we look at the missing angle in the picture, it has the same angles.
The other pictures don't have similar answers.
