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?
left parallelogram: 5 inches bottom 3.5 inches sides
right parallelogram: 0.7 inches bottom 1 inches top.
A. 0.2
B. 5
C. 3.5
D. 4
To find the scale factor, we can take the ratio of the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
The scale factor is determined by comparing the length of the corresponding sides of the left and right parallelograms. Since the bottom side of the left parallelogram measures 5 inches and the bottom side of the right parallelogram measures 0.7 inches, we have a ratio of 0.7/5 = 0.14.
Therefore, the scale factor Kamla uses is 0.14.
