Question

The two scalene triangles seen below are similar figures. What is the scale factor from the small scalene triangle on the left to
the large scalene triangle on the right? The scalene triangles are not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

scale factor= 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

47/10= 4.7

32.9/7= 4.7

28.2/6= 4.7

To figure out the scale factor for the smallest to the largest triangle, divide the larger number by the smaller number (of the same side).

If you wanted to get the scale factor of the largest to smallest triangle, you would just do the opposite.

ex. 10/47, 7/32.9...
