Determine the scale factor for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C. Triangle ABC is 5in and triangle A'B'C is 10inch
It would have been helpful to have some more detail but the answer would have to be between 2 and 3 inches.
Answer:
Scaling factor is 2 for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Side of triangle ABC is 5 inch and side of triangle A'B'C' is 10 inch.
We have to Determine the scale factor for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.
Scaling factor is a number that is multiplied by the original value to find the dilation of the figure. If scaling factor is less than 1 then figure decreases from its original size and if scaling factor is greater than 1 then figure increases from its original size.
Scaling factor = \(\frac{new\ side}{original\ side}\)
Given Side of triangle ABC is 5 inch and side of triangle A'B'C' is 10 inch
Scaling factor = \(\frac{10}{5}=2\)
Thus, Scaling factor is 2 for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.
