OpenStudy (stbest):

are there choices

OpenStudy (summerd613):

OpenStudy (stbest):

do u know the steps

OpenStudy (summerd613):

No, I am confused on how to solve this. I would ask my teacher but she is out for the next 2 weeks.

OpenStudy (stbest):

OKAY

OpenStudy (stbest):

do you have a guess on the answer

OpenStudy (stbest):

In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor. To find the scale factor, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the scale factor from one figure to the other.

OpenStudy (stbest):

so you have 2 similar sides which are 15 and 6 cm

OpenStudy (summerd613):

is it asking the dilation of the figure?

OpenStudy (stbest):

no, not really

OpenStudy (stbest):

do you know how to find a ratio of a figure

OpenStudy (summerd613):

yeah

OpenStudy (stbest):

Well you now the ratio is 15:6

OpenStudy (stbest):

can you simplify 15:6

OpenStudy (summerd613):

yes to 5:2

OpenStudy (stbest):

good

OpenStudy (stbest):

wait a sec

OpenStudy (summerd613):

ok

OpenStudy (stbest):

OpenStudy (summerd613):

2.5

OpenStudy (stbest):
