Question

Which of the following appears to be a scaled copy of the original image? *

YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THAT ONE

Answer 1

The answer is c b and e

Answer 2

Answer: Third Choice. B,C, and E

Concept:

A scaled copy is a copy of a figure where every length in the original figure is multiplied by the same number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A.
`\boxed{FALSE}`

The figure given as choice A seems to be much thinner than the original image. Therefore, the figure did not copy each length in scale.

Choice B.
`\boxed{TRUE}`

The figure given as choice B seems to be the same size as the original image but different position. However, the position is not a concern in a scaled copy image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Choice C.
`\boxed{TRUE}`

The figure given as choice C seems to be larger than the original image and different position. However, the scale of choice C seems even to the original image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Choice D.
`\boxed{FALSE}`

The figure given as choice D seems to be larger and wider than the original image. Therefore, the figure did not copy each length in scale.

Choice E.
`\boxed{TRUE}`

The figure given as choice E seems to be smaller than the original image and different position. However, the scale of choice C seems even to the original image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Therefore, the choices would be B, C, E, which would be the third choice.

Extra: A shortcut (lazy) way to do the question

As listed above, A and D are clearly not to scale since one is much thinner, one is much wider. Therefore, we can directly neglect choices that contain A and D, which would only leave us with the third choice.

Hope this helps!! :)
