Question

quadrilateral o is a scaled copy of quadrilateral n. what scale factor takes quadrilateral n to quadrilateral o?

Explanation:

Step1: Select a pair of corresponding sides

Let's take the side of length 15 in quadrilateral N and the side of length 24 in quadrilateral O.

Step2: Calculate the scale - factor

The scale factor \(k\) is given by the ratio of the length of the side in the scaled - copy (quadrilateral O) to the length of the corresponding side in the original (quadrilateral N). So \(k=\frac{24}{15}\).

Step3: Simplify the ratio

\(\frac{24}{15}=\frac{8}{5} = 1.6\)

Answer:

\(1.6\)
