Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left, though it might have also been rotated. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment po? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Since the right - hand figure is a scaled copy of the left - hand figure, we match the sides based on the shape and orientation. Given that $PO$ corresponds to $YX$.

Step2: Count grid units for side lengths

Suppose $PO$ has a length of 4 grid units (by counting the vertical distance between $P$ and $O$) and $YX$ has a length of 2 grid units (by counting the vertical distance between $Y$ and $X$).

Step3: Calculate scale factor

The scale factor $k$ is given by the ratio of the length of the corresponding side in the scaled - copy to the length of the side in the original figure. So $k=\frac{\text{length of }YX}{\text{length of }PO}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
