Which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment Q, NQN?
What is the scale factor?
The side in the figure on the right corresponding to segment Q, NQN is side GHG.
To find the scale factor, we can compare the lengths of corresponding sides in the two figures.
Length of NQ = Length of GH = 2 units
Length of NR = Length of GI = 3 units
Therefore, the scale factor is 2/3.
what about QN?
The side in the figure on the right corresponding to segment QN is side GI.
In the figure on the left, QN has a length of 2 units.
In the figure on the right, side GI has a length of 3 units.
Therefore, the scale factor is 3/2.
there is no GI-
I apologize for the mistake. Let's analyze the corresponding sides again.
In the figure on the left:
- Segment QN has a length of 2 units.
- Segment NR has a length of 3 units.
In the figure on the right:
- The corresponding side to segment QN is side JI.
- The corresponding side to segment NR is side JH.
Therefore, the scale factor is 3/2.
