Question

Andre wants to make a scaled copy of jada drawing so the side that corresponds to 4 units in jada polygon is 8 units of his scaled copy Andre says i wonder if i should add 4 units to lengths of all of the segments what would you say in response to Andre explain or show your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

No she should add extra lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between scaled copy  and jada drawing is that it is in the ratio

8:4

2:1

that is the scaled copy is twice as large as the jada drawing itself.

So every dimension is doubled or made twice as large as the initial measurement. Andre should not add 4 units to all sides instead the drawing is made twice as large . It will serve the same purpose of enlarging the drawing while maintaining its shape. If extra mesurements are added the drawing will be changed.
