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

OpenStudy (rational):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thanks everyone now i can't give a medal cause everyone gave a answer.

OpenStudy (rational):

4? wil

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rational

OpenStudy (rational):

nope

OpenStudy (rational):

is the scaled image 4 times the original figure ?

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

OpenStudy (rational):

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

OpenStudy (rational):

:)
