Question

is rectangle d a scaled copy of rectangle c? rectangle c: 2 on one - side and 4 on the other. rectangle d: 1 on one - side and 2 on the other. side length in rectangle c | corresponding side length in rectangle d | scale factor 2 | 1 | 2 1/2 = 1 4 | 2 | 4 1/2 = 2 yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate scale - factor for width

For the width, the side - length in Rectangle C is 2 and in Rectangle D is 1. The scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ since $2\times\frac{1}{2}=1$.

Step2: Calculate scale - factor for length

For the length, the side - length in Rectangle C is 4 and in Rectangle D is 2. The scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ since $4\times\frac{1}{2}=2$.

Step3: Check if it's a scaled copy

Since the scale factor is the same ($\frac{1}{2}$) for both corresponding sides, Rectangle D is a scaled copy of Rectangle C.

Answer:

Yes
