Rectangle ABCD is transformed to A’B’C’D’ by a dilation. What is the scale factor used for the dilation?

Scale factor = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor used for the dilation = the ratio of the corresponding side length of the new figure to the side length of the original figure

Scale factor = B'C'/BC

B'C' = 9 units

BC = 3 units

Scale factor = 9/3 = 3

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
