Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment mo? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Since the figure on the right is a scaled - copy of the figure on the left, corresponding sides are in the same relative position. Segment $MO$ in the left - hand figure corresponds to segment $VX$ in the right - hand figure.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count the lengths of corresponding sides. Let's assume we count the grid squares to find the lengths. Suppose $MO$ has a length of 4 grid - square units and $VX$ has a length of 2 grid - square units. The scale factor $k$ is given by the ratio of the length of a side in the scaled - copy to the length of the corresponding side in the original figure. So, $k=\frac{VX}{MO}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

The side that corresponds to segment $MO$ is $VX$. The scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$.
