How does a scale factor change the size of a figure?

The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).

3 x 6 = 18

The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.


hope this helps

Hello!

The scale factor shows how much a figure is dilated. For example, if you have a square that has an area of 4, and it is dilated by a scale factor of 2, its area will become 8, or with a scale factor of 1/2, it will become 2/

I hope this helps!

How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is 592.6\ mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1      

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm

substitute

z=\frac{4}{3} ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

z^3=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{4}{3}

y=250\ mm^3

substitute the values

(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}

solve for x

(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}

x=250(\frac{64}{27})

x=592.6\ mm^3

How to solve for 4(m - 2 ) = 24
tino4ka555 [31]

4(m - 2 ) = 24

Divide both sides by 4

m - 2 = 8

add 2 to both sides

m = 10

Hope this helps! ;)
