Answer:
The scale factor would be 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 of the sides both are 4 units.
If you go to figure B, it got smaller.
So in this case, you would divide.
On figure B, 2 of the sides are 2 units.
If you did it in reverse, you would get 2 because 2 times 2 is 4.
But we divide, so 4/2 is 2, so the scale factor would be:
1/2
Hope this helped!
And brainliest pls :)
You didn't supply any rules or constraints so.... 1 in., 1 in., and 1 in.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if the side lengths are appropriate.
–this is true.
A^-b is the same as 1/a^b.
When there is a negative power, place the number and power over 1.
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c).
c is a negative power, because it is being divided, and is underneath b, which is a positive (and so it stays in the numerator).
a^c/b^c = (a/b)^c
Inside this one, the power of c is distributed to all numbers inside the parenthesis, in this case a and b.
hope this helps
