Looking at the questions:
-
Question 7 asks for the length of .
- seems to be the missing side of the trapezoid .
- The scale factor is provided as 4, and trapezoid has corresponding sides given as 2.2 cm and 4.5 cm.
-
Question 8 asks for the length of , which seems to refer to another part of the trapezoid or a corresponding figure.
-
Question 9 asks for the scale factor from to , but it seems to repeat the earlier information (scale factor = 4).
To calculate , you can use the scale factor of 4. Let's assume that trapezoid is 4 times larger than trapezoid .
Given side lengths for :
- One side = 2.2 cm.
For trapezoid :
- Corresponding side can be calculated by multiplying the side of by 4.
Let me calculate this for you.The length of (the corresponding side in trapezoid ) is 8.8 cm.
Would you like help with other questions, such as the length of , or further clarification on the scale factor calculations?
Here are 5 related questions you might explore:
- How do we apply scale factors to non-linear dimensions like area or volume?
- If the area of trapezoid is known, how can we find the area of trapezoid ?
- What is the effect of the scale factor on the perimeter of similar figures?
- How do you find unknown dimensions if the scale factor is a fraction instead of a whole number?
- What would the reverse scale factor be from trapezoid to trapezoid ?
Tip: Always check whether the scale factor is applied uniformly to all corresponding dimensions (sides, areas, or volumes), as they scale differently.
