The figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. R O Q P K J M L Which side in the figure on the right corres
1 answer:
The scaled copy of a shape is the enlarged or compressed copy of the shape.
- The side that corresponds to segment PL is ST
- The scale factor is 1/3
From the figure (see attachment), we have the following similar sides:
- Sides WR and NO
- Sides RV and OM
- Sides VU and MQ
- Sides UT and QL
- Sides TS and LP
This means that the corresponding segment of segment PL is segment ST
Also, the side of the larger polygon is three times the sides of the smaller polygon.
This means that, the scale factor is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of line passing through the two points is
When substituted,the equation becomes
which when simplified is
The line clearly passes through origin.
The distance between two points is
Distance between origin and is
.
Distance between origin and is
Scale factor is
So,scale factor is
which when simplified becomes 3.
