Question

Parallelogram APFM is similar to parallelogram AEVT .

What is the scale factor of a dilation from APFM to AEVT ?


17/41

41/17

5/3

3/5

Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{\sf (3)/(5)} \\\\\\\sf \displaystyle Scale\ factor=(small\ shape\ size)/(big\ shape\ size) \\\\\\Scale\ factor = (49.2)/(82) =(3)/(5)`

Answer 2

The scale factor going from the larger on to the smaller one would be the length of TV over the length of MF

TV / MF = 49.2 / 82 = 0.6

0.6 = 6/10 which reduces to 3/5
The answer would be 3/5
