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 $tw$?
ih
hj
jg
gi
what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding side

Segment $TW$ is the bottom side of the left figure. The bottom side of the right scaled figure is $IH$, so this is the corresponding side.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count grid units: $TW$ spans 3 units, $IH$ spans 6 units.
Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Length of scaled side}}{\text{Length of original side}} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

Answer:

1. IH
2. 2
