The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.
§ How can we use the scale factor to write an equation relating the scale drawing lengths to the actual lengths?

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.

3: feet in one yard
3/24=8
Answer: Buying: fairly constant payment, will build equity, require maintenance cost.
Renting: not build equit, cost less, increasing payments
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option B ⇒ Area of base of each pyramid :
Option A ⇒ Volume of pyramid :
cm3
Step-by-step explanation:
One side of tile consists of 4 pyramids and since length of whole tile is x,
So, the base length of each pyramid = 
⇒ Area of base of each pyramid = side²
⇒ Area =
Volume of square based pyramid :
For 1. The correct Option is B
For 2. The correct option is A
The lcd would be 10x^3y^3
