Question

HELP PLZZ ASAP !! a. The value of x is 6 , what is the value of y?

Answer 1

Answer:

a). y = 4.5

b) Scale factor = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, polygon Q is the scaled copy of polygon P

    Both the figures will be similar.

    Therefore, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

    $\frac{x}{y} =\frac{4}{3}$

    If x = 6,

    $\frac{6}{y} =\frac{4}{3}$

    y = $\frac{3\times 6}{4}$

    y = 4.5

b). Since, polygon Q is the scaled copy of polygon P,

    Polygon Q will be the image of preimage polygon P.

    Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Length of a side of the image}}{\text{Length of a side of the preimage}}$

                         = $\frac{3}{4}$
