How does scale factor change the area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer: in summary, a scale factor is simply a number that multiplies the dimensions of a shape. ... If the scale factor is three, then the perimeter of the new object will be three times the original perimeter. The area of a scaled object will be equal to the scale factor squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you had a triangle with a base measuring 6 units, and a height measuring 3 units, the area would be 9 square units. If we scale it by 1/3, the triangle's base is 2 units, the height is 1 unit, and the area is 1 square unit. The dimensions were scaled by 1/3, but the area was scaled by 1/9 (1/3 * 1/3).

Factor completely. Remember to look first for a common factor. If a polynomial is prime, state this.

This one is prime.  The sum of two squares doesn't factor.

The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).
