A board game uses a tranguar piece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a triangle in a proportional relationship to the
es 0.5 inches on each side. Identity the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece. (1 point)
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the travel version of the piece by the length of the original piece.
The length of the travel version of the piece is 0.5 inches.
The length of the original piece is 3 inches.
The scale factor can be found by dividing 0.5 inches by 3 inches:
Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6
So, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
The scale factor can be determined by dividing the length of the travel version piece (0.5 inches) by the length of the original piece (3 inches):
Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches
Simplifying the fraction gives:
Scale factor = 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece is 1/6.
To find the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece, we can divide the length of a side of the original triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the travel version.
The original triangular piece measures 3 inches on each side, while the travel version measures 0.5 inches on each side.
Dividing the length of the original triangle's side (3 inches) by the length of the travel version's side (0.5 inches), we get:
3 inches / 0.5 inches = 6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece is 6.
