Question

PLEASE HELP !! Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A. What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

Answer 1

Answer:

The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is $0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

In this problem

$z=\frac{hB}{hA}$

substitute values

$z=\frac{2}{4}=0.5$

the scale factor is less than 1

therefore

is a reduction

Answer 2

The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 0.5

since the scale factor is less than 1 so the figure is contracted.

Given there are two figures of rectangles

Figure A and figure B

We are asked the scale factor from figure A to figure B

Hence the final figure is figure B and the initial figure is Figure A

The scale factor of any figure is defined as formulated in equation (1)

$\rm Scale \; Factor = \dfrac{Final\; Dimension }{Initial\; Dimension } .........(1)$

According to the given figures we can observe that

Length of pair of  one  parallel  sides of figure A is drawn using 4 squares while the same for figure B uses only 2 squares.

So from the equation (1) we can write that

$\rm Scale \; factor = \dfrac{Dimension \; of \; figure\; B }{Dimension \; of \; figure\; A } = \dfrac{2 }{4 } = \dfrac{1}{2} =0.5$

So the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 0.5

since the scale factor is less than 1 so the figure is contracted.
