Question

The first hexagon is dilated to form the second hexagon. Select answers from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statements. The scale factor is . This represents . A hexagon with a side length of 1.2. An arrow points to a smaller hexagon with a side length of .6

Answer 1

IF it is from the larger to the smaller hexagon you would do .6/1.2 = 0.5 as the scale factor.
IF it is from the smaller to the larger you would do 12./.6 =2 as the scale factor

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The first hexagon is dilated to form the second hexagon.

First hexagon has a side length =1.2

SEcond hexagon has the corresponding side = 0.6

To find the scale factor we divide the size of image by size of original

Here we find

scale factor = 0.6/1.2 =0.50

So scale factor is 1/2

The hexagon is shrunk by 2 to get new image.
