Question

here is a figure that looks like the letter e, along with several other figures. which figures are scaled copies of the original e? explain how you know. original figure figure 1 figure 2 figure 3 figure 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definition of scaled copy

A scaled - copy has all lengths in proportion to the original figure.

Step2: Analyze figure 1

The vertical and horizontal lengths of figure 1 are not in the same proportion as the original 'E'. For example, the thickness of the horizontal bars in figure 1 is not in the same ratio to the overall height and width as in the original.

Step3: Analyze figure 2

The vertical and horizontal lengths of figure 2 are in proportion to the original 'E'. Each part of figure 2 is a multiple of the corresponding part of the original 'E'. For instance, if we consider the height and width of the main body and the lengths of the horizontal bars, they are all scaled up by the same factor.

Step4: Analyze figure 3

The vertical and horizontal lengths of figure 3 are in proportion to the original 'E'. All the linear dimensions of figure 3 are increased by a consistent scale factor compared to the original 'E'.

Step5: Analyze figure 4

The vertical and horizontal lengths of figure 4 are not in the same proportion as the original 'E'. The shape of the horizontal bars and their relative positions to the vertical part are not consistent with the scaling of the original 'E'.

Answer:

Figure 2 and Figure 3 are scaled copies of the original 'E'.
