In the diagram, ABC and DBE are similar. What is the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE?

we know that
in this problem
the scale factor is equal to
[tex]scale\ factor= \frac{ED}{AC}=\frac{12.09}{16.12}= 0.75[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
the scale factor is equal to [tex]0.75[/tex]
