Question

A four-sided figure is resized to create a scaled copy. The lengths of its four sideschange as in the table below.Original Figure Scaled Copy6661101014313Find the constant of proportionality from the original figureto the scaled copy. Express your answer as a fraction inreduced terms.

Answer 1

To find the scale factor we need to divide the original length by the final lenght, then we have:

`\begin{gathered} 66k=6 \\ k=(6)/(66) \\ k=(1)/(11) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the scale factor is 1/11
