Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon. Each side of the object measure 4 centimeters. Leo photographs the object, enlarges it so that the sides each measure 11 centimeters, and prints the photo. What scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original?
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the enlarged side by the length of the original side.
The length of the enlarged side is 11 centimeters.
The length of the original side is 4 centimeters.
So the scale factor is 11 centimeters / 4 centimeters = <<11/4=2.75>>2.75.
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 2.75 to create the photograph from the original.
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the size of the original object to the size of the photograph.
The original object has sides measuring 4 centimeters each, while the photograph has sides measuring 11 centimeters each.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the sides in the photograph by the length of the sides in the original object:
Scale factor = Length in photograph / Length in original object
Scale factor = 11 centimeters / 4 centimeters
Scale factor = 2.75
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 2.75 to create the photograph from the original.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of a side of the enlarged shape by the length of the corresponding side of the original shape.
The original shape is a regular pentagon with sides measuring 4 centimeters.
The enlarged shape has sides measuring 11 centimeters.
So, to find the scale factor, we divide the enlarged shape's side length by the original shape's side length:
Scale factor = enlarged shape's side length / original shape's side length
Scale factor = 11 centimeters / 4 centimeters
Calculating this, the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original is:
Scale factor = 2.75
