Q. Your visually impaired friend asked you to enlarge your notes from class so he can study. You took notes on

8.5

inch by

11

inches paper. The enlarged copy has a smaller width of

10

inches. What is the scale factor of this dilation?

Identify Widths: Step $1$ : Identify the original width and the enlarged width. $\newline$ Original width = $8.5$ inches. $\newline$ Enlarged width = $10$ inches.
Calculate Scale Factor: Step $2$ : Calculate the scale factor by dividing the enlarged width by the original width. $\newline$ Scale factor = Enlarged width / Original width = $\frac{10 \text{ inches}}{8.5 \text{ inches}} = 1.1764705882352942$ .
