Question

Original scale: 1 inch = 8 feet. A parallelogram with a side length of 24 feet. A larger parallelogram with a side length of 72 feet.
Noah planned a parallelogram-shaped sidewalk to lead from the street to the front door of his house. He realized the walkway was too short and he needs to change the length to 72 feet. He wrote a ratio to find the change in the scale factor.

24 ft
72 ft
=


The change in the scale factor is
✔ 1/3
.
The change of scale means that 1 inch represented
✔ 8
feet, but now 1 inch represents
✔ 24
feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The change in the scale factor is

✔ 1/3

The change of scale means that 1 inch represented

✔ 8

feet, but now 1 inch represents

✔ 24

feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a rectangle or square, each of the angles measures 90°. If you have a parallelogram or rhombus, the opposite angles are the same and the consecutive angles are supplementary. For other types of quadrilaterals you may need to add the given angles and then subtract from 360°.
