Looking at the questions:

  1. Question 7 asks for the length of xx.

    • xx seems to be the missing side of the trapezoid TT.
    • The scale factor is provided as 4, and trapezoid SS has corresponding sides given as 2.2 cm and 4.5 cm.
  2. Question 8 asks for the length of yy, which seems to refer to another part of the trapezoid or a corresponding figure.

  3. Question 9 asks for the scale factor from SS to TT, but it seems to repeat the earlier information (scale factor = 4).

To calculate xx, you can use the scale factor of 4. Let's assume that trapezoid TT is 4 times larger than trapezoid SS.

Given side lengths for SS:

  • One side = 2.2 cm.

For trapezoid TT:

  • Corresponding side xx can be calculated by multiplying the side of SS by 4.

Let me calculate this for you.The length of xx (the corresponding side in trapezoid TT) is 8.8 cm.

Would you like help with other questions, such as the length of yy, or further clarification on the scale factor calculations?

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:

  1. How do we apply scale factors to non-linear dimensions like area or volume?
  2. If the area of trapezoid SS is known, how can we find the area of trapezoid TT?
  3. What is the effect of the scale factor on the perimeter of similar figures?
  4. How do you find unknown dimensions if the scale factor is a fraction instead of a whole number?
  5. What would the reverse scale factor be from trapezoid TT to trapezoid SS?

Tip: Always check whether the scale factor is applied uniformly to all corresponding dimensions (sides, areas, or volumes), as they scale differently.
