Question

A. Show one pair of corresponding points and two pairs of corresponding sides in the original polygon and its copy. B. what scale factor takes the original polygon to its smaller copy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

(A).Two corresponding sides of the given figures will be,

AB and DE

BC and EF

Similarly one pair of corresponding points will be,

A and D.

(B). Since large figure has been scaled to the smaller image,

Scale factor =
`\frac{\text{Side of the image}}{\text{Side of the actual figure}}`

=
`\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}`

=
`(0.5)/(2)`

= 0.25

Therefore, scale factor will be 0.25.
