A government agency is redesigning a satellite, or an object that goes in orbit around Earth. The surface of the satellite is covered with solar panels that supply the satellite with energy. The interior of the satellite is filled with scientific instruments. In the current design, the satellite has a surface area of 5.4 square feet and a volume of 1.2 cubic feet.

If the agency wants to increase the surface area to 48.6 square feet so the satellite can generate more energy, by what scale factor do they need to dilate the satellite? _
