Let me explain. Can you find the scale factor between the triangles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm I do not understand the lesson at all i am lost

sammixboo (sammixboo):

The scale factor is the number you multiply one side to get a new side, and to get the scale factor, divide 12/3 and 16/4, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yes! So the scale factor is 4, so that means you multiply 5 by 4 to get x, which is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is right bro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because that si the side on the little triangle that is missing on the big one
