((Image: An isosceles triangle with a side length of 3.4. An arrow points to a smaller isosceles triangle with a side length of 1.7)

Answer 1

Answer: A scale factor of 1/2 was applied to the first triangle to get the resulting image.

Step-by-step explanation: The initial side length of 3.4 is twice as long as 1.7, the initial triangle was reduced to half of the initial size.

Answer 2

The triangle is still an equilateral triangle as before, and the only difference is that the side length is halved from 3.4 to 1.7 (3.4/2=1.7). Therefore, the scale factor is 1.7/3.4=0.5. A scale factor <1 means that the original shape is reduced. The scale factor would be a reduction.

Explanation:

The image would be of a triangle.
