Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached,
ΔA'B'C' is a dilation image of ΔABC or both the triangle are similar.
Therefore, by the property of similarity of two similar triangles, corresponding sides these similar triangles will be proportional.
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Side of image triangle}}{\text{Side of the pre-image}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{B'A'}}{\text{B'A}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{(B'A+AA')}}{\text{B'A}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(6+12)}{6}[/tex]
= 3
Therefore, scale factor is 3 when center of dilation is B.
Option (2) will be the answer.
