Question

lesson practice 7.1.02 name: ica date: period problems 6 - 8: polygon b is a scaled copy of polygon a. 6. what is the scale factor that takes polygon a to polygon b? explain your thinking. polygon a 2.5 1.5 2.5 polygon b 5 53° 82°

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding side lengths

Side length of 2.5 in polygon A corresponds to side - length of 5 in polygon B.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Scale factor $k=\frac{\text{length in polygon B}}{\text{length in polygon A}}=\frac{5}{2.5}$.
$k = 2$

Answer:

2
