We want to find the scale factor at which QRST is dilated to form Q'R'S'T'
We will find that the scale factor is 2.
In a general dilation, we will see that all the measures change in the same way, by the scale factor.
This means that:
QR*k = Q'R'
RS*k = R'S'
And so on, where k is the scale factor.
Then we can just find one of the equivalent measures in both trapezoids and find the value of k.
For example, we have:
Q'R' = 8
QR = 4
Replacing these on the above equation we get:
4*k = 8
k = 8/4 = 2
k = 2
The scale factor of dilation is 2.
