You use scale factor of 34
to create a dilated circle with a radius of 9 inches. What is the radius of the original circle?
To find the radius of the original circle, we can use the formula for dilation:
Original radius = Dilation scale factor * Dilated radius
Original radius = 34 * 9 = 306 inches
Therefore, the radius of the original circle is 306 inches.
It says 12
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the radius of the original circle using the correct method:
Original radius = Dilated radius / Scale factor
Original radius = 9 / 34
Original radius ≈ 0.265 inches
Therefore, the radius of the original circle is approximately 0.265 inches.
