A microscope shows you an
image of an object that is 20
times the object’s actual size. So
the scale factor of the
enlargement is 20. An insect has
a body length of 10 millimeters.
What is the body length of the
insect under the microscope?
(1 point)
2,000 millimeters
200 centimeters
200 millimeters
20 millimeters
200 millimeters
To find the body length of the insect under the microscope, you would multiply the actual body length of the insect by the scale factor of the enlargement.
10 millimeters x 20 = 200 millimeters
Therefore, the body length of the insect under the microscope is 200 millimeters.
