Question

i am a lil bit confused on this... Here is a polygon Identify the new lengths of all of the sides of the scaled copy with a scale factor of 1/2 .

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

a' = 3, b' = 4, c' = 2, d' = 2, e' = 1, f' = 2

Explanation:

First of all, you need to identify the lengths of the sides in this figure:

• a = 6
• b = 8
• c = 4
• d = 4
• e = 2
• f = 4

Then, you multiply each of these lengths by the scale factor, 1/2. Equivalently, divide them by 2.

The scaled side lengths are ...

• a' = 3
• b' = 4
• c' = 2
• d' = 2
• e' = 1
• f' = 2
