Respuesta :

the scale factor is 4

Answer:

so the scale factor of the image is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the scale factor of figure A'B'C'D' which is the dilated image of quadrilateral ABCD.

Now we choose a line segment AB and compare it with line segment A'B'.

Since length of AB = 4 units

and length of A'B'  = 1 units

So ratio of AB and A'B' = [tex]\frac{A'B'}{AB}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

so the scale factor of the image is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
