If you want to dilate a square with a side of 6 units to create a square with a side of 18 units, what scale factor should you use?
To find the scale factor, divide the length of the new side by the length of the original side.
Scale factor = New side length / Original side length
In this case, the new side is 18 units and the original side is 6 units.
Scale factor = 18 / 6 = 3
Therefore, you should use a scale factor of 3 to dilate the square.
