What type of transformation of a geometric figure can you relate to a scale drawing?
dilation
reflection
translation
rotation
dilation
How does a scale drawing that is larger than the object it represents relate to a geometric transformation?
It is a dilation that increases the size of the object.
It is a dilation that maintains the size of the object.
It is a dilation that decreases the size of the object.
It is a dilation that moves the object to the right and down.
It is a dilation that increases the size of the object.
If you dilate a rectangle with a width of 16 inches using a scale factor of 4, what will be the width of the dilated rectangle?
64 inches
20 inches
4 inches
12 inches
The width of the dilated rectangle would be 64 inches.
If you use a scale factor of 15 to create a circle with radius 18 cm, what is the radius of the original circle you dilated?
180 cm
90 cm
9 m
3.6 cm
The radius of the original circle that was dilated would be 1.2 cm, not listed among the provided options.
To find the radius of the original circle, divide the radius of the dilated circle (18 cm) by the scale factor (15):
18 cm / 15 = 1.2 cm
waht is the answer
I apologize for the mistake in the previous response. The correct answer is:
The radius of the original circle is 1.2 cm.
If you use a scale factor of 15 to create a circle with radius 18 cm, what is the radius of the original circle you dilated?(1 point)
