Question

Quadrilateral QRST is similar to quadrilateral EDGF. What's the scale factor from EDGF to QRST

A) 5∕4

B) 6∕7

C) 6∕5

D) 5∕6

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding sides of a polygon is said to be equal. The ratio gives us the scale factor.

Therefore, assuming that quadrilateral QRST was the original polygon that was scaled up to give a similar polygon, EDGF, the scale factor would be expressed as $\frac{42}{35}$

The scale factor = $\frac{42}{35} = \frac{6*7}{5*7} = \frac{6}{5}$
