3.5 by 5 in.
1 by 0.7 in.
Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?
A. 3.5
B. 5
C. 0.2
D. 4
To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding side lengths of the original parallelogram and the scaled parallelogram.
Original parallelogram:
Length: 3.5 in
Width: 1 in
Scaled parallelogram:
Length: 5 in
Width: 0.7 in
We can compare the length of the original parallelogram to the length of the scaled parallelogram:
Length of scaled parallelogram / Length of original parallelogram = 5 in / 3.5 in = 1.43
We can compare the width of the original parallelogram to the width of the scaled parallelogram:
Width of scaled parallelogram / Width of original parallelogram = 0.7 in / 1 in = 0.7
Since the scale factor is the same for both the length and the width, we take the average of the two ratios:
(1.43 + 0.7) / 2 ≈ 1.07
Therefore, the scale factor Kamla uses is approximately 1.07.
The answer is not given in the answer options provided, so none of the given options is correct.
Yes one of them is redo the math using proportional relationship to figure out if it's
A. 3.5
B. 5
C. 0.2
D. 4
Apologies for the incorrect previous response.
To find the scale factor, we will use the proportional relationship between the corresponding sides of the original parallelogram and the scaled parallelogram.
Original parallelogram:
Length: 3.5 in
Width: 1 in
Scaled parallelogram:
Length: 5 in
Width: 0.7 in
Comparing the lengths:
Length of scaled parallelogram / Length of original parallelogram = 5 in / 3.5 in = 1.43
Comparing the widths:
Width of scaled parallelogram / Width of original parallelogram = 0.7 in / 1 in = 0.7
Since the length and width are scaled proportionally, the scale factor will be the same for both.
Let's calculate the average of the length and width scale factors:
(1.43 + 0.7) / 2 = 1.065
Therefore, the scale factor Kamla uses is approximately 1.065.
None of the given options match this value, so the correct answer is not provided.
YES ONE IS PICK THE RIGHT ONE BOT
Apologies for the confusion. Let's go through the calculations again to determine the correct scale factor.
Original parallelogram:
Length: 3.5 in
Width: 1 in
Scaled parallelogram:
Length: 5 in
Width: 0.7 in
Comparing the lengths:
Length of scaled parallelogram / Length of original parallelogram = 5 in / 3.5 in = 1.43
Comparing the widths:
Width of scaled parallelogram / Width of original parallelogram = 0.7 in / 1 in = 0.7
Since the length and width are scaled proportionally, the scale factor will be the same for both.
Let's calculate the average of the length and width scale factors:
(1.43 + 0.7) / 2 ≈ 1.065
Comparing the scale factor (approximately 1.065) to the given answer options:
A. 3.5 - Not the correct scale factor.
B. 5 - Not the correct scale factor.
C. 0.2 - Not the correct scale factor.
D. 4 - Not the correct scale factor.
None of the given options match the calculated scale factor.
Therefore, the correct scale factor is not provided in the given answer options.
Just pick the one closest to the answer
Apologies for any confusion caused. Based on the calculations, the scale factor is approximately 1.065. Among the given options, the one closest to this value is:
C. 0.2
Therefore, the closest option to the correct scale factor is C. 0.2.
