Question

Figure B is a scale image of Figure A, as shown. Enter the scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B: figure A, 3 2 4 and Figure B, 6 4 8

Answer 1

1:2

Explanation:

3x2=6

2x2=4

4x2=8

Multiplying all sides by two (or doubling all sides) gets the first triangle to the size of the second (or produces the second image).

So you know 2 is the answer, I am not sure how to write the scale factor maybe it is 1:2.

Answer 2

The scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B is 2, as each dimension of Figure B is twice the corresponding dimension of Figure A.

To determine the scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B, we look at the corresponding dimensions of both figures.

If Figure A has dimensions 3, 2, 4 (not specified but assuming units), and Figure B has dimensions 6, 4, 8, we simply divide the dimensions of Figure B by those of Figure A.

As a result, we get 6/3 = 2, 4/2 = 2, and 8/4 = 2, which confirms that the scale factor is 2.

This means every dimension of Figure A is multiplied by 2 to get Figure B.

When calculating a scale factor from one figure to another, you are essentially looking for a constant ratio that applies to all corresponding dimensions.

In our case, because all ratios of the dimensions from Figure B to Figure A are equal (each being 2), this indicates that the scale factor used is uniform across all dimensions.
