Mehek (mehek14):
it's 4
OpenStudy (rational):
simply take the ratio of corresponding sides :
\[\dfrac{2}{8} = ?\]
OpenStudy (mokeira):
simply divide the corresponding sides
\[8\div2=\]
\[6 \div 1.5=\]
and you will get answer
Mehek (mehek14):
because if you divide 8 by 2 get 4
and if you divide 6 by 1.5 you get 4

I think we should take the ratio of "scaled side" and "original side"
not the opposite

nope
OpenStudy (rational):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Acctually it kinda does cause each side times the other side equals 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But idk cause this is y i needed help

careful, the scaled image is actually much smaller than the original figure
OpenStudy (rational):
so the scale factor is \(\large \dfrac{2}{8}\) which equals \(\large \dfrac{1}{4}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohhhhhh i kinda barely understand
OpenStudy (rational):
thats okay, you're just starting :)
keep in mind, the scaled side always goes on top
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ill try :D
