Question

quadrilateral o is a scaled copy of quadrilateral n. quadrilateral n has side - lengths 30, 15, 25. quadrilateral o has side - lengths 48, 24, 40. what scale factor takes quadrilateral n to quadrilateral o?

Explanation:

Step1: Select a corresponding side pair

Let's use 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 found by dividing the length of the side in the scaled - copy (quadrilateral O) by the length of the corresponding side in the original (quadrilateral N). So $k=\frac{24}{15}=\frac{8}{5} = 1.6$.

Answer:

$1.6$
