Given:
The side of square = 12 in.
Scale factor of enlargement = 3 in : 2 m
To find:
The proportion that is use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square.
Solution:
Let, the side of length of enlarged square = x m
In case of enlargement the corresponding sides are proportional.
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the required proportion is and the side length of the square after enlargement is 8 m.
