Question

In the given picture, the length of AB is 5 inches. The scale factor of the given picture to an enlarged version of the picture is 1:5. What would the length of AB be in the enlarged picture?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is 25

Answer 2

The length of AB in the enlarged picture would be 25 inches.

Explanation:

Since the scale factor is 1:5, this means that the dimensions of the enlarged picture are 5 times greater than the original picture. So, if the length of AB in the original picture is 5 inches, then the length of AB in the enlarged picture would be:

5 inches x 5 = 25 inches.
