Scale factor is defined as a number which multiplies or scales some quantity.
The shape of the figure remains same, the image becomes larger or smaller.
If the scale factor is greater than one, then the image is enlarged.
If the scale factor is less than 1 but greater that 0, then the image becomes smaller.
In the above image, AD = 2 units.
It's corresponding side PS = 3 units
Similarly AB = 1 unit and PQ = 1.5 units
Hence , 1 * 1.5 = 1.5
2*1.5 = 3
Hence, the scale factor of the given image is 1.5 ... Answer
Given:
Radius of the cylinder = 5 in
Height of the cylinder = 30 in.
To find:
The surface area of the cylinder.
Solution:
The surface area of the cylinder is:

Where, r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Putting
in the above formula, we get




Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 1099 square inches.
Find the area of the square first
Area = Length x Width
Area = 12 x 9
Area = 108
Find the area of the right triangles
Area = 1/2(Length x Base)
Area = 1/2(9 x 2)
Area = 1/2(18)
Area = 9
Since there is 2 triangles multiply by 2
9 x 2 = 18
Now add
108 + 18 = 126
126 is your area
