If you want to dilate a figure that has a side length of 20 yards to create a dilated image with a corresponding side length of 15 yards what scale factor should you use
To find the scale factor, you can divide the corresponding side length of the dilated image by the corresponding side length of the original figure.
Scale Factor = Corresponding Side Length of Dilated Image / Corresponding Side Length of Original Figure
In this case, the corresponding side length of the dilated image is 15 yards and the corresponding side length of the original figure is 20 yards.
Scale Factor = 15 yards / 20 yards = 0.75
Therefore, the scale factor is 0.75.
