How to find the scale factor of a dilated triangle?

To find the scale factor of a dilated triangle, you need to count the number of vertices and edges of the original shape and the dilation of each vertex, sides, or angle. When you count the number of vertices, edges, and sides of the original triangle, make sure to count the number of sides as you would count the number of angles, unless you want to end up with an inverted triangle.

How to find the scale factor of dilated hypotenuse?

Let’s say a triangle has a side of length a and another with length b. The hypotenuse of the triangle has length c. The length of the hypotenuse of a dilation of the triangle is equal to a1+b1. Therefore, the scale factor for the dilation of the hypotenuse is equal to c/a1+b1.

How to find the scale factor of a revolved triangle with a point?

If you want to know how to find the scale factor of a dilated triangle, you can use the same idea. You simply need to use the same method of solving the problem with the regular triangle but with one exception. In this case, you need to start with an accurate measurement of the radius of the smallest triangle side and use it as the length of the new hypotenuse.

Find the scale factor of a dilated square?

To find the scale factor for a dilated square, simply take the length of each side of the square and divide it by the length of each side of the original square. This will be the same for any square so the same method can be used regardless of the side length of the original square.

How to find the scale factor of a dilated triangle?

You can use the area of the original triangle A as the base of the triangle and the area of the dilated triangle A' as the base. If you know the two areas A and A' you can find the length of the sides of the new triangle. This is because the area of a triangle is half the product of the length of each of the three sides. If you know the sides of the new triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length
