Question

the first where is 3 cm we buy blank centimeters and the second square is 13.5 CM by 9 cm what is the skull factor going from the smallest rectangle to largest one and what is the length of the missing side on the smaller rectangle ​

Answer 1

The scale factor from the smaller rectangle to the larger one is 3. The missing side length on the smaller rectangle is 4.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the scale factor from the smaller rectangle to the larger one, we need at least one corresponding side length from each rectangle. In this case, we have a smaller rectangle with one side length of 3 cm, and a larger rectangle with side lengths of 13.5 cm and 9 cm. If we assume that the smaller rectangle's other side corresponds to the larger rectangle's shorter side (which is 9 cm), we can calculate the scale factor by dividing the larger side by the smaller side: scale factor = 9 cm / 3 cm = 3. Therefore, the scale factor is 3.

To determine the missing side length on the smaller rectangle, since the scale factor is 3, we divide the longer side of the larger rectangle by the scale factor: missing side = 13.5 cm / 3 = 4.5 cm. So, the length of the missing side on the smaller rectangle is 4.5 cm.
