How do you find scale factor

1 answer:

7 0

First, a scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides in two similar geometric figures.

To find the scale factor:
1. Locate two corresponding sides (one on each figure).
2. Write the ratio of one length to the other.
And there you go! That's the scale figure from one figure to the other

Hope that helps and correct me if I'm wrong!

Why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction?

kotykmax [81]

Im Not That sure But I Belive That If Denominators Are The Same Keep It And Just Do The Math In The Numerator's . ( For Adding ) But Multiplying You Do Both and If The Numerator Is The Bigger Than The Denominator Your Going To Have To Do Extra Math Like A Common Denominator ( I Belive ) .

Find the length of side w.

9966 [12]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find this other side given an angle and a side, we will use a trigonometric function. The three basic ones are sine, cosine, and tangent. You can remember these and what what they are using the mnemonic "soh cah toa".

SOH: Sine= Opposite/Hypotenuse

CAH: Cosine= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

TOA: Tangent= Opposite/Adjacent

We see that the sides involved are the opposite and hypotenuse.

Therefore, we can write this equation.

sin40= w/28

We multiply both sides by 28 to isolate the w.

28×sin40=w

Now, we find the sine of 40 on our calculator and then we multiply it by 28.

w≈18

Therefore, the answer is 18 cm.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
