Question

Find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure

Answer 1

Answer:

#9: 1.2

#10: 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure, we're going to be dividing the measurements of corresponding edges.

$\frac{larger figure}{smaller figure}$

If you wanted to find the scale factor of the larger figure to the smaller figure, you'd do: $\frac{smaller figure}{larger figure}$

Question #9:

Left edges: $\frac{larger figure}{smaller figure}$ ⇒ $\frac{24}{20}$ = 1.2

Bottom edges: $\frac{larger figure}{smaller figure}$ ⇒ $\frac{30}{25}$ = 1.2

(You should get the same number as long as the figures are similar.)

Question #10:

Bottom edges: $\frac{larger figure}{smaller figure}$ ⇒ $\frac{30}{24}$ = 1.25

(There are no corresponding edges with measurements that we can compare.)
