Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by dividing two corresponding side lengths. For instance, if you have two triangles, divide the new length of the larger or smaller triangle by the same side length of the original.

If the side length of the new was 9 and the old was 3 then the scale factor would be 9/3 = 3.

If it were flipped then the new would be 3 and the old would be 9. So the scale factor would be 3/9 = 1/3.

Would a yardstick be reasonable to measure the length of a canoe paddle

pishuonlain [190]

Most charts for the sizes of the canoe paddle give the sizes in units of inches. A yard is a unit of measure of length that is equal to 36 inches. Although some sizes of the canoes paddle torso are not greater than 36 inches, the yardstick can still be a reasonable measuring tool for bigger canoe paddles.

Is 9x=270 addition property of equality or symmetric property?

Ede4ka [16]

This is the symmetric property, for you divide 9 to both sides to get x, instead of adding (addition property of equality)

So symmetric property should be your answer
