Question

Match the scale factor of the side lengths of a regular polygon with the scale factor that results for the area, volume or perimeter.

Answer 1

No. How do you know what to do?

Answer 2

For example 16 is for D area: scale factor 64

8 matches the area: scale factor 64 because the area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension.

Answer 3

Sorry I am being really stupid. But I really don't get it. Could you work one out with me?

Answer 4

for the last one, 64 divided by 8 is what ?

Answer 5

8

Answer 6

Right, so the answer for the match is 8, the first one is 1 cuz 4/4 is 1

Answer 7

So, it would be like 9/9 = 1? or 81/9 = 9? Like that?

Answer 8

How do they get the x 3 or /2?

Answer 9

And what does area volume or perimeter have to do with all of this?

Answer 10

There question was different than yours, you see your chart has perimeter scale factor: 4
That's how your question should be solved

Answer 11

So we just multiply or divide by 4?

Answer 12

et me observe your question for a bit.. i think i did something wrong there

Answer 13

okay, take your time.

Answer 14

perimeter scale factor means you do square root 2

Answer 15

oh

Answer 16

So, 8^2, 4^2, 16^2

Answer 17

Wait. Then there is volume and area.

Answer 18

Yes. the volume, area, and perimeter are solved differently

Answer 19

Area scale factor = (Linear scale factor)^2

Answer 20

What is linear scale factor?

Answer 21

Your chart shows the definition, in the column, Area scale factor 64, that's the linear scale factor

Answer 22

So, 8 would be 64.

Answer 23

Right

Answer 24

and for volume. 16 would be 8.

Answer 25

Thanks for the medal too!

Answer 26

Your welcome. So did u match A and B

Answer 27

a = 2 and b = 4

Answer 28

AWESOME!

Answer 29
