What is the scale factor?AFGH - AMNOG9
1 answer:
Answer:
Scale factor: 1.666
x: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
These are two similar triangles, the triangle MNO has been scaled off triangle FGH.
To calculate the scale/dilation factor, you take 2 measurements of a similar side and you calculate the ratio.
Since we have the measurements for segments GH and NO, and these are similar sides, we'll use that to calculate the scale/dilation factor of MNO over FGH.
Dilation factor is 5/3... or 1.666
if you're also looking for value of x, it would be 6 * 1.666 = 10

First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12, 15.
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
The GCF is 3.
Second, divide the numerator (12) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Third, divide the denominator (15) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 15 ÷ 3 = 5
Fourth, rewrite the fraction in the simplified form. / Your problem should look like:
