Answer 1

a. 1.25

b . 0.8

Explanation:

This is a question in scale factors

a. The sable factor that takes P to Q

In P, we are having sides 4, 2 and 3

In Q, we are having sides 2.5 and 5

From the diagrams and using the similar sides, we can see that the side length 4 became 5 while the side length 2 became 2.5

So the scale factor would be;

4 * x = 5

or

2 * x = 2.5

Where x is that dilation factor that transformed 4 into 5

Thus, x would be 5/4 or 2.5/2 = 1.25

b. The scale factor that takes Q to P

This is the direct opposite of what we have in the first question.

Here, we want to go from Q to P

To get this, we simply divide what we have in P by what we had in Q

Hence, what we do here is;

2/2.5 or 4/5 = 0.8
