Question

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A. What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

Answer 1

2:1

Explanation:

If we examine the two figures we see that the length of each side of Figure B is twice the length of the corresponding side of Figure A

For example side of length 44 in Figure B corresponds to side of length 22 in Figure A

Scale Factor: Final Dimension/Initial Dimension =

Length of Figure B side/Length of Figure A corresponding side

44/22 = 2/1 or 2:1

So the scale factor from A to B is 2 or 2:1
