Which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment R, ORO?
What is the scale factor?
The side in the figure on the right that corresponds to segment R, OR, is segment L, OJ.
To find the scale factor, we can compare the lengths of corresponding sides.
In the original figure:
RO = 4
OQ = 3
QR = 5
In the scaled figure:
OJ = 6
JO = 4
OR = 8
From this, we can see that the scale factor is 2, since all corresponding sides have been doubled in length.
