Randee draws two triangles with lengths given in centimeters. what scale factor does she use to create the copy on the right from the original on the left?
1. 1/6
2. 2
3. 12 width 4 height box
4. width 3 height box
5. 5
These are the answers i did the quick check
bye (✿◡‿◡)
question 4 answer is -4 width 3 height box- i forgot to fix it
Bai again
appreciate you, @Angel,
To determine the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles. Let's assume the original triangle on the left has side lengths A, B, and C in centimeters.
If the copy on the right is an exact replica of the original triangle, then the corresponding side lengths on the right triangle would also be A, B, and C.
Therefore, the scale factor in this case would be 1:1 or simply 1.
To determine the scale factor used by Randee to create the copy on the right from the original on the left, we need to compare the corresponding lengths of the two triangles.
1. Identify the corresponding sides of the triangles: Look for pairs of sides that are in the same position or have the same relative orientation in both triangles. Let's label the corresponding sides with the same letters. For example, if in the original triangle the side opposite angle A is a and in the copy it is a', then they are a pair of corresponding sides.
2. Measure the lengths of the corresponding sides: Use a ruler to measure the lengths of the corresponding sides in both triangles. For example, measure the length of side a in the original triangle, and then measure the length of side a' in the copy.
3. Calculate the scale factor: To find the scale factor, divide the length of any corresponding side in the copy (a') by the length of the corresponding side in the original triangle (a). The scale factor will be the same for all corresponding sides.
Scale factor = Length of corresponding side in the copy (a') / Length of corresponding side in the original triangle (a)
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other corresponding sides: To increase accuracy, it's recommended to measure multiple corresponding sides and calculate the scale factor using their lengths.
Once you have calculated the scale factor for all corresponding sides, you can average the values to get the overall scale factor used by Randee to create the copy on the right from the original on the left.
