Question

A scale drawing is made of a triangle with side lengths 3, 4, and 5 using a scale factor of 1.5. Select all of the side lengths of the newly created triangle Choose all that apply: 4.5 6 5.5

Answer 1

The given side lengths are 3, 4, and 5.

The given scale factor is 1.5.

To find the new triangle sides, we just have to multiply each side with the scale factor.

`\begin{gathered} 3\cdot1.5=4.5 \\ 4\cdot1.5=6 \\ 5\cdot1.5=7.5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the sides of the new triangle are 4.5, 6, and 7.5.
