Now she wants to create more paintings of different sizes that are all scaled copies of her original painting. The paint she uses is expensive, so she wants to know the sizes she can create using different amounts of paint. 1. Suppose the artist has enough paint to cover 9 square feet. If she uses all her paint, by what scale factor can she dilate her original painting? 2. Complete the table that shows the relationship between the dilated area () and the scale factor (x). Round values to the nearest tenth if needed. Use the applet at the end of the lesson to help, if you choose. Dilations dilated area in sq ft. 0 1 4 9 16 3.
