The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with a center of dilation at (2,−1) .

what is the scale factor of the dilation?

a. 1/3
b. 1/2
c. 2
d. 3

Option B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with the center of dilation at (2, -1).

we have to calculate the scale factor of the dilation.

One point of the large triangle is (-4, -1). After dilation it has become (-1, -1) of the smaller one.

If we consider the x coordinates of the point x = -4 has reduced down to -1 therefore scale factor = side of small triangle/side of the large triangle = (2 + 1)/(2 + 4) = 3/6 = 1/2

Therefore Option B. 1/2 is the answer.

B. 1/2

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
