Dilation involves changing the size of a shape.
The scale factor of dilation that takes quadrilateral Q to quadrilateral P is 0.8
The corresponding sides of quadrilaterals Q and P are:
[tex]P = 2[/tex]
[tex]Q = 2.5[/tex]
So, the scale factor (k) of dilation that takes Q to P is:
[tex]k = \frac PQ[/tex]
Substitute values for P and Q
[tex]k = \frac 2{2.5}[/tex]
Divide 2 by 2.5
[tex]k = 0.8[/tex]
This means that the scale factor is 0.8
Hence, the scale factor of dilation that takes quadrilateral Q to quadrilateral P is 0.8
