Calculating the Scale Factor of a Dilation

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the scale factor of a dilation by comparing the measurements of an image and its preimage. It covers the concept of dilation, the role of the center of dilation, and how to determine the scale factor using corresponding vertices and side lengths. The tutorial also discusses different types of dilation, including enlargement, reduction, and congruence, and emphasizes the importance of checking all sets of corresponding sides to ensure proportionality.
