A board game uses a triangular piece measured 3 in on each side the travel version of the game uses a triangle in a proportion relationship to the original it measures 0.5 in on each side identify the scale factors used to create the travel version of peace? A negative 1/6 B 3.5 c 1/6 d 6
The scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece can be determined by dividing the length of the side of the travel version triangle (0.5 inches) by the length of the side of the original triangle (3 inches):
Scale factor = 0.5 รท 3
Scale factor = 0.1667
When rounded to the nearest thousandth, the scale factor is approximately 0.167.
Since the scale factor is less than 1, it indicates a reduction in size. Therefore, the correct answer is:
C) 1/6
