Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 2 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment mo? what is the scale factor? 1/2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in proportion. By comparing the shapes and orientation of the two figures, we can match the vertices.

Step2: Determine the side corresponding to MO

Vertex M corresponds to vertex X and vertex O corresponds to vertex V. So the side corresponding to MO is XV.

Step3: Find the scale factor

Count the number of grid - units for a pair of corresponding sides. Let's assume we count the horizontal or vertical displacements of corresponding vertices. If the length of a side in the left - hand figure is \(l_1\) and in the right - hand figure is \(l_2\), and \(l_2=\frac{1}{2}l_1\), the scale factor is \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer:

The side corresponding to segment MO is XV. The scale factor is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
