Question

Christopher made a scaled copy of the following trapezoid. He used a scale factor greater than 1. What could be the length of the side that corresponds with BC

a.) 1/5 units
b.) 4 units
c.)15.5 units
d.)24 units
e.)18 units

Answer 1

C D and E

Explanation:

did it on khan

Answer 2

The correct options are c, d and e.

Explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the length of BC is 5 units.

Christopher made a scaled copy of the following trapezoid.

1. If a the scale factor is less than 1 then the image is smaller than its original figure.

2. If a the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is larger than its original figure.

It is given that he used a scale factor greater than 1. So, the scaled copy of the following trapezoid is larger than the given trapezoid.

The length of corresponds with BC is greater than 5.

`(1)/(5)<5`

`4<5`

`15.5>5`

`24>5`

`18>5`

Therefore, the correct options are c, d and e.
