Question

Andre wants to make a scaled copy of jada drawing so the side that corresponds to 4 units in jada polygon is 8 units of his scaled copy Andre says i wonder if i should add 4 units to lengths of all of the segments what would you say in response to Andre explain or show your reasoning

Answer 1

To make a scaled copy, use a scale factor and multiply the lengths in the original shape by the scale factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make a scaled copy, you need to use a scale factor. The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding lengths in the original shape and the scaled copy. In this case, the side that corresponds to 4 units in Jada's polygon is 8 units in Andre's scaled copy. Therefore, the scale factor is 8/4 = 2.

To find the lengths of the segments in the scaled copy, you can multiply the lengths in the original shape by the scale factor. So, you don't need to add 4 units to the lengths of all the segments. Instead, you can simply multiply each length by 2 to get the corresponding length in the scaled copy.

For example, if one segment in Jada's drawing is 6 units long, its corresponding segment in Andre's scaled copy would be 6 x 2 = 12 units long.

Answer 2

No she should add extra lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between scaled copy and jada drawing is that it is in the ratio

8:4

2:1

that is the scaled copy is twice as large as the jada drawing itself.

So every dimension is doubled or made twice as large as the initial measurement. Andre should not add 4 units to all sides instead the drawing is made twice as large . It will serve the same purpose of enlarging the drawing while maintaining its shape. If extra mesurements are added the drawing will be changed.
