Question

The regular pentagon below is a scale drawing of an original pentagon that was made by using a scale factor of 1/4

pentagon 5.5


If each side of the pentagon has the same measure, which applies to the original pentagon? Check all that apply.

*The scale drawing represents a reduction.

*Each side of the original is 22 inches long.

*One side of the model can be 1.375 inches.

*The scale drawing is proportional to the original.

*The scale factor is multiplied by 5.5 to get the dimensions of the original.

Answer 1

Answer is 1, 2, and 4 on Ed ;)

Explanation:

Answer 2

we know that
scale factor=model /original

original=model/scale factor
model=5.5 in
scale factor=1/4
so
original=5.5/(1/4)----> 5.5*4----> 22 in

statements
case A) The scale drawing represents a reduction-----> is correct
because the scale factor (1/4) is < 1

case B) Each side of the original is 22 inches long.----> is correct
original=5.5/(1/4)----> 22 in

case C) One side of the model can be 1.375 inches.----> is false
each side of the model is 5.5 in

case D)The scale drawing is proportional to the original.----> is correct
the proportion is equal to the scale factor

case E)The scale factor is multiplied by 5.5 to get the dimensions of the original.-----> is false
to get the dimensions of the original divided 5.5 by the scale factor
