A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a triangle in a professional relationship to the original. It measures 0.5 inches on each side. Identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece. A.6 B.1/6 C. -1/6 D.3.5
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the length of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
For the original triangle: 3 inches on each side.
For the travel version: 0.5 inches on each side.
So, the scale factor would be 0.5/3 = 1/6.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 1/6.
