Could you check this for me?

A company is looking to design a new cover for their smartphone. The scale drawing of the design is shown below. The coordinates of the actual cover are: H' (10,0); I' (0, 0); J' (0, 16); K' (10,16). Is the design of the cover similar to the actual cover? Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional. Yes; the corresponding angles are proportional. No; the corresponding angles are not proportional.

The correct answer would be B correct? Because they arent proportional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you explain it too me? Just so i know we're on the same page

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

H = (2,0); I = (0,0); J = (0,4); K = (2,4) H' = (10,0); I' = (0,0); J' = (0,16); K' = (10,16) What's going on when we go from H to H' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its increasing by 8 units

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2 times ______ = 10 what goes in the blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so from H to H' the scale factor is 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but if we go from J to J', and we apply the same scale factor, we don't have things match up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would equal 4. So the other is 5 so B would be the correct answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes the two figures aren't proportional for this reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty thank you sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh actually

Could you check something for me?

Bill is building an enclosure with recycled cardboard for his collection of model cars. His design is as shown below: What is the length of side ED in inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This would be 8 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 28/7 = 4 so 4 x 2 = 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep cause the scale factor is 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nice job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you !!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no problem
