Question

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.

What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

(Please help)

Answer 1

Scale factor: 1/2

Chose a common side of the 2 figures, I chose the hypotenuse because it was the easiest to count. Find the length, A= 6 & B=3. Find the answer by doing B/A because you’re finding the scale factor of A->B. So, 3/6=1/2.
