Question

One rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. A second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.Are these two figures scaled versions of each other If so find the scale factor. if not,briefly explain why

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

If they where scaled versions of each other then the sides would have to be scaled by the same factor. To get from 2 units to 11 units, the scale factor would by 5.5, but 7 multiplied by 5.5 is not 37.
