Tiyane 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? the scale factor is 3-inch height 9-inch width
Since the height of the parallelogram in the scale drawing is 3 inches, we can set up a proportion to find the length of the shorter side (the width) in the scale drawing.
Let x be the length of the shorter side in the scale drawing.
3/9 = x/22.5
1/3 = x/22.5
To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 22.5:
22.5 * (1/3) = x
7.5 = x
So, the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing is 7.5 inches.
