Answer:
a.
Scale Factor = 2
Reason:
Since, B is a scaled copy of A it's corresponding sides must be in proportion with that of A, and that proportion would be its scale factor.
I held their horizontal sides and compared them.
in case of A, the side is 2.5 and in case of B it's 5.
so, 5 divided by 2.5 gets you 2, that is the scale factor.
b.
3, 5 (from left to right)
Solution:
[tex] \boxed{ \mathsf{ \frac{crsp. \: side \: of \: b}{crsp. \: side \: of \: a} = scale \: factor }}[/tex]
this also means
[tex] \boxed{ \mathfrak{crsp. \: side \: of \: b =( scale \: factor) \times \: crsp. \: side \: of \: a }}[/tex]
Using this we'll get the answer to the question marks
- The corresponding side to 1.5 is the vertical one in B.
=> corresponding side in B = 2 × 1.5
= 3
(this is the first question mark in order from left to right)
- The corresponding side to 2.5 is:
= 2 × 2.5
= 5
c.
53° and 37° (from top to bottom)
Solution:
Scaled shapes have the same angle measures.
Reason:
When we scale two line segments meeting at a point, the lengths of the segments change but they still are part of the same pair of rays making the same angle.
