R a n d e e draws these two triangles with links given in centimeters what scale factor does she use to create the copy on the right from the original on the left on the right is 36 in 30 in 20 in on the left is 10 in 18 in a 1 hole in 2/3 B 1/2 c 2 d one hole and 1/3
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles.
The corresponding side lengths of the left triangle are:
- The length of the shorter side is 10 inches.
- The length of the longer side is 18 inches.
The corresponding side lengths of the right triangle are:
- The length of the shorter side is 20 inches.
- The length of the longer side is 30 inches.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the longer side of the right triangle (30 inches) by the length of the longer side of the left triangle (18 inches):
Scale factor = 30 inches / 18 inches
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
Scale factor = 5/3
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the copy on the right from the original on the left is 5/3.
