Question

Write the scale factor and side length

Answer 1

We look for a number that multiplying it by 5 gives us 10 to preserve scale and find it

`\begin{gathered} 5* y=10 \\ y=2 \end{gathered}`

so, the scale is 2

to find the value of x we just apply the sacale to 8

`8*2=16`

so, the value of x is 16
