Question

She decides to change the length of the top of the top of the trapezoid shaped garden from 32 to 24 ft. Which expression finds the change in the scale factor

Answer 1

The change in the scale factor is
`(3)/(4)` ft

Explanation:

Given that Sienna planned a trapezoid-shaped garden.

And She decides to change the length of the top of the trapezoid-shaped garden from 32 ft to 24 ft.

Let Old length of the top be 32 ft

Let New length of the top be 24 ft

`Scale factor =(New length)/(old length)`

`Scale factor = (24)/(32)`

`=(3)/(4)` ft

∴ the change in the scale factor is
`(3)/(4)` ft
