Question

2 figure b is a scale drawing of figure a. estimate the scale factor that relates figure b to figure a. explain your estimate.

Explanation:

Step1: Choose a dimension to measure

Measure the height (or any other consistent dimension) of both figures. Let's assume the height of Figure A is \(h_A\) and of Figure B is \(h_B\).

Step2: Calculate the scale - factor formula

The scale factor \(k\) from Figure B to Figure A is given by \(k=\frac{h_A}{h_B}\). If we estimate, by eye - balling, that the height of Figure A is about twice the height of Figure B, then \(k = 2\).

Answer:

The estimated scale factor is 2. This is because Figure A appears to be about twice as large as Figure B when comparing their overall sizes (for example, by comparing the height of the turkeys in both figures).
