Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in the same relative position. Segment $ZY$ in the left - hand figure corresponds to segment $MN$ in the right - hand figure because of the orientation and position of the polygons.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count the lengths of corresponding sides. Let's assume each grid square has a side - length of 1 unit. For example, if we measure $ZY$ and $MN$. Suppose $ZY = 4$ units and $MN = 2$ units. The scale factor $k$ from the left figure (original) to the right figure (scaled copy) is given by the ratio of the length of a side in the scaled copy to the length of the corresponding side in the original. So, $k=\frac{\text{length of side in scaled copy}}{\text{length of corresponding side in original}}=\frac{MN}{ZY}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

Which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment $ZY$: $MN$
What is the scale factor: $\frac{1}{2}$
