Question

Michel uses the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in. A square with side lengths of 12 inches. Scale factor: 3 inches = 2 meters. Which proportion could Michel use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square? StartFraction 3 inches over 2 meters EndFraction = StartFraction x meters over 12 inches EndFraction StartFraction x inches over 2 meters EndFraction = StartFraction 3 inches over 12 meters EndFraction StartFraction 3 inches over x meters EndFraction = StartFraction 2 meters over 12 inches EndFraction StartFraction 3 inches over 2 meters EndFraction = StartFraction 12 inches over x meters EndFraction

Answer 1

x = 8 meters

Explanation:

Answer 2

Its D.

Explanation:

If you use cross products and multiply then the ratios will be the same. So like x = 8 so 3/2 is equal to 12/8 and since the factor is 4, 4 x 2 is8 which gives you the answer for x if you multiply it so therefore this is the correct equation.
