Question

The scale factor from a small triangle ABC to a large triangle XYZ is 5. How many times larger will the perimeter of triangle XYZ be than

the area of triangle ABC?

Answer 1

Answer below :)

Explanation:

Hi there!

Question 4 - the answer will be 5. Since the scale factor is 5, we would (hypothetically) multiply the area by 5 to get the new area of XYZ, so area XYZ is 5 times the area of ABC.

Question 5 - A.

First we multiply 45 by 12 to find the amount in inches. This is 540. Now, we divide that by 6 to get 90. This is our scale factor in inches, but the answers only show the scale in feet, so we have to convert. Divide 90 by 12 to get 7.5.

I hope this helps!
