Question

practice 8.2.02 logan green problem 7 here is a diagram. point h is the image of point g using point f as the center of dilation. what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The scale factor $k$ of a dilation with center $F$ is given by $k=\frac{FH}{FG}$. Since we don't have numerical values for the distances, we assume we can measure them. Let's assume we measure the distances and find that $FH = 2$ units and $FG=1$ unit.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

$k=\frac{FH}{FG}=\frac{2}{1} = 2$
