Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor = [tex]\dfrac{\text{ side length of image}}{\text{Side-length of original figure}}[/tex]
Given: Black triangle ( original) having perpendicular with length 4 units. [2 blocks above and 2 boxes below the x-axis ]
Green triangle ( image) having corresponding side as 20 units [10 blocks above and 10 boxes below the x-axis ].
Scale factor of dilation = [tex]\dfrac{20}{4}=5[/tex]
Hence, the scale factor of the dilation = 5
