Covert the ratios so they are all the same measurement type.

A. 5 feet = 5 x 12 = 60 inches.

The scale becomes 1:60

B. 1:30

C. 12 yards = 12 x 3 = 36 feet x 12 = 432 inches.

The scale is 12:432 = 1:36

D. 1 meter = 39.37 inches.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

39.37 x 2.54 = 99.99 inches

The scale converted to inches becomes 1 :100 inches.

The first number would be the size of the drawing, the second number is the size of the actual object

If you use all 4 scale factors for a real object that is 100 inches:

A would need 100/60 = 1.67 inches.

B would need 100/30 = 3.3 inches.

C would need 100/36 = 2.78 inches.

D would need 100/100 = 1 inch.

The larger scaled drawing would be B.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which scale would produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

First of all cover all units in inches.

In option 1,

1 inch : 5 feet

We know that

1 feet = 12 inch → 5 feet = 60 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:60. It means the scale factor is 60.

In option 2,

1 inch : 30 inches

So the ratio in inches is 1:30. It means the scale factor is 30.

In option 3,

1 foot : 12 yards

12 inches : 12 yards (1 feet = 12 inch)

1 inch : 1 yards

1 inch : 36 inch (1 yard = 36 inch)

So the ratio in inches is 1:36. It means the scale factor is 36.

In option 4,

1 centimeter : 1 meter

1 centimeter : 100 centimeter (1 m = 100 cm)

1 inch : 100 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:100. It means the scale factor is 100.

Option B has smallest scale factor, so it will produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Question 4

1) $\overline{BD}$ bisects $\angle ABC$ , $\overline{EF} \perp \overline{AB}$ , and $\overline{EG} \perp \overline{BC}$ (given)

2) $\angle FBE \cong \angle GBE$ (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

3) $\angle BFE$ and $\angle BGE$ are right angles (perpendicular lines form right angles)

4) $\triangle BFE$ and $\triangle BGE$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) $\overline{BE} \cong \overline{BE}$ (reflexive property)

6) $\triangle BFE \cong \triangle BGE$ (HA)

Question 5

1) $\angle AXO$ and $\angle BYO$ are right angles, $\angle A \cong \angle B$ , $O$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ (given)

2) $\triangle AXO$ and $\triangle BYO$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

3) $\overline{AO} \cong \overline{OB}$ (a midpoint splits a segment into two congruent parts)

4) $\triangle AXO \cong \triangle BYO$ (HA)

5) $\overline{OX} \cong \overline{OY}$ (CPCTC)

Question 6

1) $\angle B$ and $\angle D$ are right angles, $\overline{AC}$ bisects $\angle BAD$ (given)

2) $\overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC}$ (reflexive property)

3) $\angle BAC \cong \angle CAD$ (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

4) $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle CAD$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) $\triangle BAC \cong \triangle DCA$ (HA)

6) $\angle BCA \cong \angle DCA$ (CPCTC)

7) $\overline{CA}$ bisects $\angle ACD$ (if a segment splits an angle into two congruent parts, it is an angle bisector)

Question 7

1) $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ are right angles, $\angle 4 \cong \angle 1$ (given)

2) $\triangle BAD$ and $\triangle CAD$ are right triangles (definition of a right triangle)

3) $\angle 1 \cong \angle 3$ (vertical angles are congruent)

4) $\angle 4 \cong \angle 3$ (transitive property of congruence)

5) $\overline{AD} \cong \overline{AD}$ (reflexive property)

6) $\therefore \triangle BAD \cong \triangle CAD$ (HA theorem)

7) $\angle BDA \cong \angle CDA$ (CPCTC)

8) $\therefore \vec{DA}$ bisects $\angle BDC$ (definition of bisector of an angle)
