Answer to Problem 30STP

The scale factor of the dilation is 3

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Surface area of pyramid is 39 square feet.

Surface area is 351 square feet.

Calculation:

Consider the surface area of a square pyramid is 39 ft2 and the surface area after dilation is 351 ft2 .

Let a be the side of the base of the first square pyramid and b be the side of the base of the square pyramid after dilation.

The scale factor of the dilation is ba .

Use the property that

  surface area of first square pyramidsurface area of square pyramid after dilation=(ab)2

Thus,

  351 ft2surface area of first square pyramidsurface area of square pyramid after dilation=(ab)2                                                               39351=(ab)2                                                                  19=(ab)2                                                                 132=(ab)2

  (ab)2=132ab=132ab=13ba=31

Conclusion:Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is 3.
