Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left.

answer attempt 1 out of 3
which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment $tw$?
what is the scale factor?
options:
ih
hj
jg
gi

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding side

By matching the bottom side of the left figure (TW) to the bottom side of the scaled right figure, we find the corresponding side is IH.

Step2: Count grid units for TW

Count the length of TW on the grid: $TW = 4$ units

Step3: Count grid units for IH

Count the length of IH on the grid: $IH = 8$ units

Step4: Calculate scale factor

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Length of scaled side}}{\text{Length of original side}}$
$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

Answer:

1. IH
2. 2
