Answer:

Explanation:

Multiply 26 times 8 and then 26 times 20

So the answer is multiplication!

1. Diego subtract 10 to each length as follows:

15 - 10 = 5

36 - 10 = 26

30 - 10 = 20

18 - 10 = 8

12 - 10 = 2

21 - 10 = 11

In this way only the side which length is 5 is correct

2. Jada scales the drawing by the next scale factor:

5/15 = 1/3

where 5 is the desired length and 15 is the length of the original side.

Then, the other lengths are:

36*1/3 = 12

30*1/3 = 10

18*1/3 = 6

12*1/3 = 4

21*1/3 = 7

3. Diego's procedure is incorrect, as it is seen in his drawing. Subtraction is not the correct way to scale a drawing. On the other hand, Jada's procedure is correct.
