The scale factor is the ratio of the second triangle length to the first triangle length. Then the scale factor is 8.
Dilation means the changing of the size of the object without changing the shape. The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.
Two triangles have corresponding side lengths of 8 centimeters and 64 centimeters.
Then the scale factor will be
[tex]\rm Scale \ factor = \dfrac{Side \ of \ second \ triangle }{Side \ of \ first \ triangle } \\\\\\Scale \ factor = \dfrac{64}{8}\\\\\\Scale \ factor = 8[/tex]
The scale factor is 8.
