Bot use the image to answer the question. image of a parallelogram on the left side that measures 5 in. in width and 3.5 in. in height. image of a parallelogram on the right side that measures 0.7 in. in width and 1 in. in height. 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? Pick one of the following answers. 5 4 3.5 0.2
To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
The corresponding width of the left parallelogram is 5 in, and the corresponding width of the right parallelogram is 0.7 in.
So, we can write the equation:
Scale factor = Corresponding width of right parallelogram / Corresponding width of left parallelogram
Scale factor = 0.7 in / 5 in
Scale factor ≈ 0.14
Therefore, the scale factor Kamla uses is approximately 0.14. None of the given answers match this option, so none of the provided options (5, 4, 3.5, 0.2) are correct.
Bot please pick one of the answers that I have given you.
Apologies for the confusion, but none of the provided options (5, 4, 3.5, 0.2) are the correct scale factor in this scenario.
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the changes in width and height between the two parallelograms.
Let's start by comparing the changes in width:
The width of the left parallelogram is 5 in.
The width of the right parallelogram is 0.7 in.
To find the scale factor for width, divide the width of the right parallelogram by the width of the left parallelogram:
Scale factor = width of right parallelogram / width of left parallelogram
Scale factor = (0.7 in) / (5 in)
Calculating this, we get:
Scale factor = 0.14
Now, let's compare the changes in height:
The height of the left parallelogram is 3.5 in.
The height of the right parallelogram is 1 in.
To find the scale factor for height, divide the height of the right parallelogram by the height of the left parallelogram:
Scale factor = height of right parallelogram / height of left parallelogram
Scale factor = (1 in) / (3.5 in)
Calculating this, we get:
Scale factor = 0.2857
From these calculations, we can see that the scale factor for width is 0.14 and the scale factor for height is 0.2857. Since the question asks for a single scale factor, we can take the average of these two values:
Average scale factor = (scale factor for width + scale factor for height) / 2
Average scale factor = (0.14 + 0.2857) / 2
Calculating this, we get:
Average scale factor = 0.2129
Therefore, the closest answer option from the given choices is 0.2.
