Come out, draws parallelograms on the left and uses a scale factor to greet a parallelogram on the right all measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?
First parallelogram
: 5 bottom and 3.5 side
Second parallelogram: 1 side 0.7 bottom
To determine the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
First parallelogram:
Bottom side = 5 inches
Side = 3.5 inches
Second parallelogram:
Bottom side = 0.7 inches
Side = 1 inch
To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding sides:
Scale factor = (Bottom side of second parallelogram) / (Bottom side of first parallelogram)
Scale factor = 0.7 inches / 5 inches
Simplifying this ratio:
Scale factor = 0.14
Therefore, the scale factor used is 0.14.
