The shapes top is 9in and the side of the shape is 3 in
Tiyanes makes a scale drawing of the parallelogram. The longer side of the parallelogram is 22.5 inches in her drawing. What is the length of the parallelogram's shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing?
(1 point)
• 60 inches
• 7.5 inches
• 2.5 inches
• 0.4 inches
To find the scale factor between the actual shape and the scale drawing, we divide the length of the longer side of the shape by the length of the longer side in the scale drawing:
Scale factor = 22.5 / 9 = 2.5
Now, to find the length of the shorter side in Tiyanes's scale drawing, we multiply the scale factor by the length of the actual shorter side:
Shorter side in scale drawing = 3 * 2.5 = 7.5 inches
Therefore, the length of the parallelogram's shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing is 7.5 inches. The answer is:
• 7.5 inches
