The first figure is dilated to form the second figure. The shape is a rhombus.
It is given that the side length of the first figure is 5.8 and the side length of the second figure is 1.45.
Step 2:
To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling. In this case, it is the side length of the rhombus.
The scale factor [tex]= \frac{1.45}{5.8} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25.[/tex]
So the scale factor is 0.25. This is the first option.
