How do you find a scale factor in Geometry

Mathematics

Bond [772]4 years ago

Answer: In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor. To find the scale factor, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the scale factor from one figure to the other.

To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale will be less than one. If you start with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.

Factorize the following expression ab-a-b+1
dolphi86 [110]

Group 'em together

a b − a + 1 − b

a b − a = a ( b − 1 )

Notice that there will be a 1 as without it it'll simply be  ab

1 − b = 1 ( 1 − b )

Notice that it doesn't match with the upper one... so we'll change the signs

1 ( 1 − b ) = − 1 ( b− 1 )

(try to multiply them now!!

Jot them down in one expression

a ( b − 1 ) − 1 ( b − 1 )

You get!!!!!!

( a − 1 ) ( b − 1 )

Select the correct comparison set a set b O A the typical value is greater is set a the spread is greater in set b
salantis [7]

Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for sets A and B

Required

The true statement about both sets

First, we calculate the typical values (mean) of set A and set B.

This is calculated as:

Mean = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}

For A:

A= \frac{0*1+2*1+5*1+6*1+7*1}{1+1+1+1+1}

A= \frac{20}{5}

A =4

For B:

B = \frac{7 * 1 + 8 *1 + 9 * 2 + 10 * 1}{1+1+2+1}

B = \frac{43}{5}

B = 8.6

<em>Here, we can conclude that B has a larger typical value</em>

Next calculate the spread (range) of sets A and B

This is calculated as:

Range = Highest -Least

For A:

A = 7 - 0

A = 7

For B

B=10 - 7

B = 3

<em>Here, we can conclude that A has a larger spread.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Hence, (a) is true</em>
