help me on finding scale factors!
To find the scale factor, you need to compare the corresponding lengths or measurements of two similar figures.
1. Measure the lengths of corresponding sides of each figure. For example, if one figure has a side length of 4 cm and the corresponding side on the other figure is 8 cm, you would divide the 8 cm by the 4 cm to find the scale factor.
2. Calculate the scale factor by dividing the length of the corresponding sides of the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side of the smaller figure. This will give you a single number that represents the ratio of enlargement or reduction between the two figures.
3. The scale factor can be a whole number, fraction, or decimal. Make sure to label it as such, depending on the context of the problem.
4. Remember that the scale factor is the same for all corresponding lengths in the figures.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
if one inch is 2.25 ft then how much feet is it when 6 inches
To find the number of feet in 6 inches using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet, you can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown:
1 inch = 2.25 feet
6 inches = x feet
Cross multiply to solve for x:
1 * x = 6 * 2.25
x = 13.5 feet
So, 6 inches is equal to 13.5 feet using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet.
the answer choices are: 28.5, 49.5, 22, and 42. Choose one
The correct answer is 13.5 feet.
now what is it for 10 inches to equate to what ft?
To find out how many feet 10 inches is equivalent to using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet, you can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown:
1 inch = 2.25 feet
10 inches = x feet
Cross multiply to solve for x:
1 * x = 10 * 2.25
x = 22.5 feet
Therefore, 10 inches is equivalent to 22.5 feet using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet.
