Answer :

Answer:

[tex]Scale\ Factor = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

ABC dilated

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangles ABC and DEF

Required

Determine the scale of dilation

First, we pick a side on ABC

[tex]AB = 6[/tex]

Pick a corresponding side on DEF

[tex]DE = 3[/tex]

The scale factor is then calculated as:

[tex]Scale\ Factor = \frac{DE}{AB}[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Factor = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

i.e. ABC was dilated by 1/2
