Jordan makes a scale drawing of the triangle in which the side originally measuring 6 cm now measures 24 cm. In Jordan’s scale drawing, what will be the length of the longest side of the triangle? (1 point) Responses 1.75 cm 1.75 cm 4 cm 4 cm 25 cm 25 cm 28 cm
To find the length of the longest side of the triangle in Jordan's scale drawing, we need to determine the scale factor used to change the side length from 6 cm to 24 cm.
Scale factor = New length / Original length
Scale factor = 24 cm / 6 cm
Scale factor = 4
This means that the scale drawing was enlarged by a factor of 4. Therefore, to find the length of the longest side in the scale drawing, we need to multiply the original longest side length by 4.
Original longest side length = x
New longest side length = 4x
Since the original longest side length is not given, we cannot calculate the exact length of the longest side in the scale drawing. The options provided in the question do not help determine the length of the longest side in the scale drawing.
