small square
3in. 5in.
big square
9in. 5.4in.
What scale factor was used to enlarge the rectangle in the image? The measurements refer to inches. Give your answer as a decimal
To find the scale factor used to enlarge the small square into the big square, we need to divide the corresponding sides of the two squares.
The corresponding side lengths are:
Small square: 3in.
Big square: 9in.
So, the scale factor is calculated as:
Scale factor = (big square side length) / (small square side length)
Scale factor = 9in. / 3in.
Scale factor = 3
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle is 3.
wrong
My apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the scale factor correctly:
The corresponding side lengths are:
Small square: 5in.
Big square: 5.4in.
So, the scale factor is calculated as:
Scale factor = (big square side length) / (small square side length)
Scale factor = 5.4in. / 5in.
Scale factor = 1.08
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle is 1.08.
try again it is wrong
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's calculate the scale factor correctly:
The corresponding side lengths are:
Small square: 3in.
Big square: 9in.
To find the scale factor, we divide the corresponding side lengths:
Scale factor = (big square side length) / (small square side length)
Scale factor = 9in. / 3in.
Scale factor = 3
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle is 3.
we all ready did this one try again
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the scale factor correctly:
The corresponding side lengths are:
Small square: 3in.
Big square: 9in.
To find the scale factor, we divide the corresponding side lengths:
Scale factor = (big square side length) / (small square side length)
Scale factor = 9in. / 3in.
Scale factor = 3
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle is 3.
