    Length = the longer side

    He wants to build a table with a length of 9ft.

    The plans he has are 18ft x 36ft

    Length of the plans = 36ft

    Compare the length of the plans to the length he wants:

    36 ft vs 9 ftThe length in the plans is 4 times longer than the length he wants.

    Length he wants / Length of plans = your dilation scale factor

    9 / 36 = ¼

    1/4 = dilation scale factor

    Hope this answers your question, and May the Force Be With You!
