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?(1 point)

The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of the side of the larger square (18 units) by the length of the side of the smaller square (6 units):

scale factor = larger square side length / smaller square side length = 18 units / 6 units = 3

Therefore, the scale factor to dilate the square with a side of 6 units to create a square with a side of 18 units is 3.
