Answer:

1. i/d/k what scale factor is

2. 5

3. 6 square units

Answer:

  • A) 2, B) 4, C) 48

--------------------------------

Part A

The scale factor is 2, since each side is twice the initial length.

Part B

There are 4 congruent copies, as we can see on the picture.

Part C

The dilated area is 12*4 = 48 square units, since the area is the product of two dimensions, each dimension is twice the initial value therefore the area is 2*2 = 4 times greater.
