Question

PLEASE HELP ME I NEED HELP WITH 8th GRADE MATH BY TOMORROW!!!

a.
Draw a scaled copy of Polygon A with scale factor 1/2.

b.
Draw a scaled copy of Polygon B with scale factor 2.

c.
Draw a scaled factor of Polygon C with scale factor 1/4.

Answer 1

A copy with a scale factor of 1/2 means that each side of new figure must be half.

An scale factor of 2 means that you need to double the size of the figure.

An scale factor of 1/4, means you need to draw figure which is a quarter of the original.

• Let's say that the figure A has sides 8, 4 and 2. The new figure A' is gonna have sides 4, 2 and 1.
• Let's say that the figure B has sides 4, 4, 3 and 3. The new figure B' is gonna have sides 8, 8, 6 and 6.
• Finally, let's say that figure C has sides 8, 8, 12 and 12. So the new figure C' is gonna have isdes 2, 2, 3 and 3.
