Test build a sandbox in the shape of a regular hexagon in which all sides are 40 inches long she didn’t takes a photo of the sandbox and prints the photo in the photo of the size of a hexagon or each 4 inches long identify the scale factor that was used to create the printed photo of the sandbox Xpress your answer as a decimal
To determine the scale factor used to create the printed photo of the sandbox, we can compare the length of one side of the hexagon in the actual sandbox and the length of one side in the printed photo.
In the actual sandbox, each side of the regular hexagon is 40 inches long.
In the printed photo, each side of the hexagon is represented by a length of 4 inches.
Therefore, the scale factor is calculated by dividing the length in the printed photo by the length in the actual sandbox:
Scale factor = length in printed photo / length in actual sandbox
Scale factor = 4 inches / 40 inches
Simplifying the fraction:
Scale factor = 1/10
Expressing the scale factor as a decimal:
Scale factor = 0.1
