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?.
Without any specific measurements provided, it is not possible to determine the scale factor.
the one on the left is 5 inch by 3.5 inch on the right is 1 inch by 0.7 inch
To find the scale factor, we can simply divide the corresponding dimensions of the parallelogram on the right (1 inch by 0.7 inch) by the corresponding dimensions of the parallelogram on the left (5 inch by 3.5 inch).
The scale factor for length is 1 inch ÷ 5 inches = 0.2
The scale factor for width is 0.7 inch ÷ 3.5 inches = 0.2
Therefore, the scale factor used is 0.2.
To determine the scale factor used to create the parallelogram on the right, we need to compare the corresponding measurements of the two parallelograms.
Let's say the parallelogram on the left has side lengths a and b, and the parallelogram on the right has corresponding side lengths A and B.
The scale factor is given by:
Scale factor = Corresponding side length on the right / Corresponding side length on the left
In this case, since both figures are parallelograms, we can assume that the corresponding side lengths are proportional. So the scale factor can be written as:
Scale factor = A / a = B / b
To find the scale factor, we need the measurements of the corresponding side lengths. If you can provide the measurements for sides a and A or sides b and B, we can calculate the scale factor for you.
