Question

Change the value of n some more, and observe how the lengths of the sides of the image change. Once you've settled on a value for n, record it in the table. Measure the lengths of the sides on . Do this for at least three different values of n. What is the relationship between the lengths of the sides of and ? Explain the relationship in terms of n.

Answer 1

Answer:

Plato sample answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

n=3.5 a=1.41 units  a'=4.95 units b3 units b'10.5 units c2.24 units c'=7.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer assumes that n = 3.5. The ratio of each side length on  to the corresponding side length on  is equal to 3.5. For example, a′ = 3.5a. The ratio is equal to the scale factor, n.
