Question

Charlotte is creating a triangular pennant with geometry software. The base measure of the pennant on screen is 550 pixels. The height is 275 pixels. Charlotte resizes the pennant, keeping the aspect ratio constant, so the height is 165 pixels. What is the scale factor of the dilation? What is the base of the pennant?

Answer 1

Answer:
Base-330 pixels
Scale factor- 3/5
Step by step explanation:
It’s a ratios for the base
275/550 = 165/x
275/550=.5
Solving for x would mean you divide 165/.5 and get 330
For the scale factor
275(x) = 165 where x is the scale factor and you solve for x by divinding 165/275
