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 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.
Lesson 18: Computing Actual Lengths from a Scale Drawing.
Answer:
See explanation. (Also you can write an equation several different ways so without the choices I cannot tell you which)
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
So one way to write the equation is y=-3/4 x +3/2
There are more ways to write it.
Every line about to write is a way to write it.
Multiply both sides by 4: 4y=-3x+6
Add 3x on both sides: 3x+4y=6
Subtract 6 on both sides: 3x+4y-6=0
There are a lot of ways to write an equation like this.

Answer:
The correct answer is 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l inches and w inches be the length and width of a rectangle respectively.
According to the given problem, l - 8 = 
.
Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.
Thus l × w = 18
⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18
⇒ 2 
- 16l - 18 = 0
⇒ - 8l - 9 = 0
⇒ ( l - 9) ( l + 1) = 0
The possible values of l are 9 and -1. As the length cannot be equal to -1, thus the value of the length is 9 inches.
Width of the rectangle is 2 inches.
