Question

Pentagon ABCDE was enlarged:

What is the ratio of enlargement to the original? Convert the ratio to a percent.

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the enlargement to the original = A'E' to AE = A'E':AE = A'E'/AE

AE = 2.5

A'E' = 4

Ratio of the enlargement to the original = 4:2.5 = 1.6:1

To convert to percentage, divide 4 by 2.5 and multiply by 100.

$= \frac{4}{2.5}*100$

$= 1.6*100$

$= 160 percent$
