Question

What can anika conclude about the scale factor and missing measurements ? Check all that apply

Answer 1

We can see the ratio of a side big figure and small figure is 60:15 or 60/15 = 1/4.

In decimal form we can write 1/4 as 0.25.

Therefore, scale factor is 0.25.

So, second option is applicable. Please check second option :

The scale factor is 0.25.

Now, let us find the side A by multiplying by scale factor 0.25 of the big figure.

The corresponding side of A is 35.

Therefore, A is 0.25 × 35 = 8.75 cm.

Therefore, other applicable option is 3rd option.

The length of side A is 8.75 cm.
