Answer:

The scale factor of a dilation is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length ST of the rectangle RSTU

The length ST of the rectangle = 8 units

It is clear that the corresponding length S'T' = 23 is 3 times the length of the original length ST = 8

i.e.

S'T' = 3(ST)

S'T' = 3(8)      ∵ ST = 8

S'T' = 24

It indicates that the RSTU has been dilated by a scale factor of 3.

As the scale factor 3 > 1, it also indicates that the dilated rectangle R'S'T'U is enlarged.

Therefore, the scale factor of a dilation is 3.
