@ganeshie8 Could you take a look at this question please?(:

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Which one can we eliminate right away? :)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

|dw:1434473882803:dw| lets put the dimensions

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

|dw:1434473901956:dw| do the dimensions seem right to you?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So it's obvious there has been a reduction right, that should be 3, not 4|dw:1434474035700:dw|

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, we can get rid of option D.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, good :), now our new triangle dimensions are halved, do you see that?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Yes. So, would our answer be reduction; 1/2?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Or no?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, that's good! :)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's best to put the dimensions and you can see it easily, does that make sense?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Yes, it does. So, C is the answer?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So notice the proportion is the same but the scale factor has just changed, in this case reduced by 1/2. Yup, sounds good.
