The problem asks about a scaled copy of a figure, with two polygons shown: one on the left and one on the right. Based on the image, the figure on the right is a scaled-up version of the figure on the left.

Questions:

1. Which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment $JH$?

In a scaled copy, corresponding sides are proportional and located similarly in both shapes. By observing the figure:

• Segment $JH$ is the bottom side of the left polygon.
• The corresponding side in the right polygon would be segment $DC$, as it is in the same position (bottom side).

2. What is the scale factor?

To determine the scale factor, we need to compare the lengths of corresponding sides. Let's compare the lengths of $JH$ and $DC$.

• $JH$ is 2 units long (counting the grid squares).
• $DC$ is 4 units long.

The scale factor is: $\text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{Length of } DC}{\text{Length of } JH} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

Thus, the scale factor is 2.

2. What is the relationship between the areas of two similar figures given their scale factor?
3. If the scale factor between two figures is 3, how does this affect the perimeter?
4. How can you find missing side lengths in a scaled figure?

Tip: When working with scaled figures, always compare corresponding sides and check that their ratios are equal.
