Answer:

The scale factor is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation that produces similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ---> the area after dilation

y ---> the original area

[tex]z^2=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

we have

[tex]x=25\ cm^2\\y=100\ cm^2[/tex]

substitute

[tex]z^2=\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

[tex]z^2=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
