In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar. What is the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE? A. 1.33 B. 0.75 C. 0.66 D. 0.55

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, image to preimage, that is
scale factor = [tex]\frac{DE}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12.09}{16.12}[/tex] = 0.75 → B
The scale factor of the dilation will be 1.33. Then the correct option is A.
Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.
There is no effect of dilation on the angle.
In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar.
Then the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE will be
⇒ 16.12 / 12.09
⇒ 1.33
Then the correct option is A.
