Given:
In the given figure, PS=x, RS=35, UV=20, VW=25 and TW=15
To find:
The scale factor from PQRS to TUVW.
Solution:
We have,
We know that the corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional. The scale factor is the ratio of one side of image and corresponding side of preimage.
The scale factor is:
Therefore, the scale factor from PQRS to TUVW is .
Here's a diagram showing how to combine angles LDA (in red) and angle ADE (in blue). Hopefully it becomes a bit clearer why these two angles add up to line segment LE. Erase the shared segment DA if it helps show LE better.
See attached image below.
