Dilation involves changing the size of a shape
The scale factor is 2, and the value of the variable is 6
How to determine the scale factor
From the figure, the scale factor is the quotient of the red figure and the blue figure.
So, we have:
[tex]k = \frac{28}{14}[/tex]
Divide
[tex]k = 2[/tex]
The value of the variable (n) is then calculated as:
[tex]n * k = 12[/tex]
This gives
[tex]n * 2 = 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]n = 6[/tex]
Hence, the scale factor is 2, and the value of the variable is 6
