Question

quadrilateral p is a scaled copy of quadrilateral n. what scale factor takes quadrilateral n to quadrilateral p?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The scale factor $k$ from the original figure (quadrilateral $N$) to the scaled - copy (quadrilateral $P$) is given by $k=\frac{\text{length in }P}{\text{length in }N}$. We can use any corresponding side lengths. Let's use the side of length $2.8$ in quadrilateral $N$ and the corresponding side of length $3.5$ in quadrilateral $P$.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

$k = \frac{3.5}{2.8}=\frac{35}{28}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25$

Answer:

$1.25$
