Shape one 3.5 inches 5 inches shape two 1 inch 0.7 inch.
Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create a parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
The corresponding sides of the parallelograms are:
Parallelogram 1: 3.5 inches and 5 inches
Parallelogram 2: 1 inch and 0.7 inch
To find the scale factor, we need to divide the corresponding side lengths of the two parallelograms.
Scale factor = (Corresponding side length of Parallelogram 2) / (Corresponding side length of Parallelogram 1)
Scale factor = (1 inch) / (3.5 inches) = 0.2857
Therefore, the scale factor used by Kamla is approximately 0.2857.
