whats the scale factor of a triangular flag with a height of 15 inches and a base of 25 inches and a scale drawing with a base of 10 inches and a height of 6
The scale factor can be determined by comparing the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
Original triangle:
Height = 15 inches
Base = 25 inches
Scale drawing:
Height = 6 inches
Base = 10 inches
Scale factor = (Height of scale drawing) / (Height of original)
= (6 inches) / (15 inches)
= 0.4
Therefore, the scale factor of the triangular flag is 0.4.
