Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 2 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment mn? what is the scale factor? 3/2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In similar - scaled figures, corresponding sides are in proportion. By observing the orientation and position of the vertices, we can match the sides. Segment $MN$ in the left - hand figure corresponds to segment $SR$ in the right - hand figure.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

To find the scale factor, we can choose a pair of corresponding sides. Let's assume we know the lengths of a side in the left figure and its corresponding side in the right figure. If the length of a side in the left figure is $l_1$ and the length of the corresponding side in the right figure is $l_2$, the scale factor $k=\frac{l_2}{l_1}$. Suppose we measure the lengths of corresponding sides and find that the scale factor is $\frac{3}{2}$.

Answer:

Corresponding side to $MN$: $SR$
Scale factor: $\frac{3}{2}$
