Q. The rectangle IY' KL K^{\prime} L^{\prime} ' is a dilation of the rectangle DKL D K L . What is the scale factor of the dilation?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, an improper fraction, or a whole number.
  1. Identify sides: Identify the corresponding sides of the rectangles DKLDKL and IYKLIY'K^{'}L^{'} to determine the scale factor. Assume the lengths of sides for DKLDKL are known, and the lengths of sides for IYKLIY'K^{'}L^{'} are given or can be measured.
  2. Calculate ratio: Calculate the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides. If side DK measures 22 units and side IY' measures 66 units, the scale factor kk is calculated as k=length of IY’length of DK=62k = \frac{\text{length of IY'}}{\text{length of DK}} = \frac{6}{2}.
  3. Simplify ratio: Simplify the ratio to find the scale factor. 6/26 / 2 simplifies to 33.
