Question

The isosceles triangle is a scale drawing of a flag.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scale factor = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the actual flag = 22 in.

Perimeter of the scale drawing of the flag = 11 in.

Since, perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all three sides of the given triangle

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing

= $\frac{\text{Measure of the side of drawing}}{\text{Measure of the side of actual}}$ = $\frac{\text{Perimeter of drawing}}{\text{Perimeter of actual}}$

= $\frac{11}{22}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing will be $\frac{1}{2}$.                                        

Each side of the scaled triangle will be half of the actual triangle.
