Answer:FINDING A SCALE FACTOR Your visually impaired friend asked you to enlarge your notes from class so be can study. You took notes on 8.5-inch by 11-inch.

Step-by-step explanation:thank you

The scale factor is 20/17.

According to the question, you took notes on a paper with dimensions 8.5 inches × 11 inches.

the breadth of the paper is 8.5 inches

the length of the paper is 11 inches

Now, to make an enlarged copy, you used a paper that has its smaller side dimension of 10 inches.

Which means the breadth of the new paper is 10 inches.

So, if we calculate the ratio of the breadths we get the scale factor.

          k = 10 / 8.5

        k = 20/17 is the scale factor of dilation.
