Question

the scale factor from the original figure to its scaled copy is 3. draw the scaled copy. 4 original copy

Explanation:

Step1: Understand scaling principle

Multiply each dimension of the original figure by the scale - factor.

Step2: Calculate new dimension

The original figure has a single - dimension (assuming it's a line - like figure representing the number 4). Multiply the length of the original figure by the scale factor of 3. So, if we consider the length of the original "4" as 1 unit (for simplicity of scaling), the new length is $1\times3 = 3$ times the original. To draw the scaled copy of the number 4, we make each line segment of the number 4 three times as long as the original. For example, if the vertical line of the 4 in the original has length $l_1$ and the horizontal line has length $l_2$, in the scaled copy, the vertical line will have length $3l_1$ and the horizontal line will have length $3l_2$.

Answer:

Draw a number 4 where each line segment is three times as long as the corresponding line segment in the original number 4.
