Answer:
The scale factor of dilation is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor of dilation, we can look at the length of the sides compared to the sides of the new.
In the case of this problem, the larger triangle KJH is the original and the smaller triangle K'J'H' is the new.
First, lets look at side KJ. It has a measure of 4 units.
And now K'J', which has a measure of 1 unit
Side JH has a measure of 4 units
J'H' has a measure of 1 unit
Side HK has a measure of 4 units diagonally
H'K' has a measure of 1 unit diagonally
To find the scale factor of dilation, we divide the new side length by the original. When done for each of these, the result is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
