Explanation:

We have AB = 3 and A'B' = 1.5; the ratio between the two segment lengths is (A'B')/(AB) = (1.5)/(3) = 1/2 = 0.5

Similarly,

You only need to pick one of these statements to be able to find the scale factor. The scale factor of 1/2 or 0.5 indicates that the image is half as small compared to the preimage. More specifically, each segment of the image is half as small compared to the corresponding segment on the preimage.

We don't have numbers for AE and A'E', but the last statement above must be true because the dilation applies to all segment lengths.

this excerpt is taken from the book “we shall not be moved : the women’s factory strike of 1909 “ and is written by joan dash. it is the story of the great strike when almost 30thousand women working in factories in america formed a union to fight unsafe working conditions, long working hours and miserable wages.
