Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment zx? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in the same relative position. Side $ZX$ in the left - hand figure corresponds to side $BA$ in the right - hand figure.

Step2: Determine scale factor

Count the length of corresponding sides. Let's assume each grid square has a side - length of 1 unit. Side $ZX$ has a length of 4 units (by counting grid squares), and side $BA$ has a length of 8 units. The scale factor $k$ is given by the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides in the scaled copy to the original copy. So, $k=\frac{\text{length of side in scaled copy}}{\text{length of side in original copy}}=\frac{8}{4} = 2$.

Answer:

The side that corresponds to segment $ZX$ is $BA$. The scale factor is 2.
