Question

If you drew a scaled copy of a figure using the scale factor of 1/2 would it be larger or smaller than the original

Answer 1

smaller

Explanation:

To find the dimensions of the scale figure, you need to multiply every dimension of the original figure by 1/2.

When you multiply a number by 1/2, the number becomes half the size it used to be. Since half the size is smaller than the original size, then the scale figure is smaller than the original figure.
