Rashaan draws these two trapezoids with the dimensions labeled in centimeters. What scale factor does he use to create the trapezoid on the right from the one on the left?
A. 2
B. 0.8
C. 1.25
D. 0.48
To find the scale factor, we can compare the lengths of corresponding sides.
Looking at the height of the trapezoids, we can see that the height on the left trapezoid is 8 cm, and the height on the right trapezoid is 10 cm.
The scale factor is found by dividing the length on the right trapezoid by the length on the left trapezoid.
So, the scale factor is 10 cm / 8 cm = 1.25.
Therefore, the answer is C. 1.25.
