Question

1. if triangle a has side lengths of 4, 5, and 6, and triangle b has side lengths of 8, 10, and 12, what is the scale factor from triangle a to triangle b? a. 0.5 b. 1.5 c. 2 d. 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The scale factor from one figure to another is the ratio of the corresponding side lengths. Let's take the ratio of corresponding sides of Triangle A and Triangle B.

Step2: Calculate the ratio of side lengths

We can take any pair of corresponding sides. For example, if we take the first - pair of sides: $\frac{8}{4}=2$, $\frac{10}{5}=2$, $\frac{12}{6}=2$.
