Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image you provided, we are working on two questions:
-
If Rectangle A is a scaled copy of Rectangle C, what is the scale factor?
The answer provided indicates that there is "no scale factor". This might imply that Rectangle A is not a scaled copy of Rectangle C, or there is insufficient data to calculate a scale factor. -
Explain how you know that Rectangle C is not a scaled copy of Rectangle B.
To determine if two rectangles are scaled copies, the ratios of their corresponding sides must be equal. If Rectangle C is not a scaled copy of Rectangle B, the side lengths of Rectangle C and B must not have proportional relationships.
For example, if the ratio of the width to the height in Rectangle B is different from the ratio in Rectangle C, then Rectangle C is not a scaled copy of Rectangle B.
Would you like help in framing a detailed answer for question 7? Let me know if you have the dimensions or additional information about the rectangles.
Here are 5 related questions to expand the topic:
- How do you calculate the scale factor between two rectangles?
- What happens if only one pair of sides between two rectangles is proportional?
- Can a rectangle be a scaled copy of another if one is rotated?
- How does changing only the width or height affect the scale factor between two rectangles?
- Why is proportionality important in determining if two figures are scaled copies?
Tip: Always check the ratio of corresponding sides when determining if two shapes are scaled versions of each other.
