Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.
What is the scale factor from Figure A to figure B?

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Figure A has a base of
`6` units.

Figure B has a base of
`2` units.

So, 6 *
`x` (the scaled factor) = 2 which simplified is
`6x=2`.

Now, we divide 6 on both sides giving us
`x = (2)/(6)` which can be further simplified into
`(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

The left side of Figure A is 6 units long

The left side of Figure B is 2 units long

6 * what = 2

Divide each side by 6

what = 2/6

what = 1/3

The scale factor is 1/3
