Question

2 fill in the blank 1 point the pairs of polygons below are similar. give the scale factor of figure a to figure b as a fraction. a has height 2 and length 4, b has height 16 and length 8. type your answer... previous

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Figure A: sides 2, 4; Figure B: sides 16, 8

Step2: Calculate scale factor (A to B)

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Side length of A}}{\text{Side length of B}}$
Using sides 4 and 8: $\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$
(Verify with 2 and 16: $\frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$, same result)

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
