The perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. What was the scale factor of the dilation?

A dilation multiplies every length by the same scale factor, so the perimeter is multiplied by that factor too. Divide the new perimeter by the original perimeter: 10 ÷ 2.5 = 4. The scale factor is 4, choice B.
