Question

Which is a scaled copy of Polygon A?Identify a pair of corresponding sides and a pair of corresponding angles. Compare the areas of the scaled copies.

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the polygon A (and other possible polygons to select from) are not given. So, I will answer on a general term.

Assume that Polygon A is a rectangle of dimension 2ft by 5ft.

$Length = 2ft$       $Width = 5ft$

Possible scaled copies can be gotten by multiplying the dimension of A by the same scale factor.

Take for instance, the scale factor k is:

$k = 3$

A scaled copy of polygon A (say polygon B) is: 6ft by 15ft

This is gotten by:

$Length = 2ft * 3 = 6ft$     $Width = 5ft * 3 = 15ft$

The area of A is:

$Area = 2ft * 5ft = 10ft^2$

The area of B is:

$Area = 6ft * 15ft = 90ft^2$

See attachment for polygons

Comparison

The area of B is greater than the area of B.

This method can be applied to scale factors
