Square A′B′C′D′ is a dilation of square ABCD .

What is the scale factor?

Enter your answer in the box.

If you want to dilate an object you just need to enlarge or reduce the size of that object. In this way, the scale factor determines how much larger or smaller the object will become. So we know some facts:

One important thing is that the dilated object will be similar to its original. The missing figure is attached below. As you can see, when applying dilation the square ABCD is reduced in size to become the square A'B'C'D', thus the scale factor can be calculated as:

As you can see the factor is less than 1, so the object will decrease in size as we predicted.

step-by-step explanation:

i think you should think about the question and not look online.

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
