what's the scale factor?

OpenStudy (mdina64):

OpenStudy (mdina64):

THIS TOO PLEASE!!

OpenStudy (jailbird):

That first one has a scale factor of 3, divide each side of the big triangle to get the sides of the smaller one

OpenStudy (jailbird):

wait, it could be 1/3, which is the original triangle?

OpenStudy (mdina64):

i didnt get that? what

OpenStudy (jailbird):

which triangle is the parent? are we starting with the big one and scaling to the little, or are we starting with the little and scaling to the big one?

OpenStudy (mdina64):

the one thats asking for the scale factor is the one with the dotted small triangle, the big trianlge would be the original

OpenStudy (mdina64):

yes

OpenStudy (jailbird):

Mk, then to go from the big one to the little one is 1/3

OpenStudy (jailbird):

do the same for the other question

OpenStudy (mdina64):

thank you but thwat about the other one?

OpenStudy (mdina64):

it talks about center of dilation and thats difficult

OpenStudy (jailbird):

Measure the sides, and divide each side by 3 and draw it out

OpenStudy (jailbird):

I won't do ALL of it ;)

OpenStudy (mdina64):

oh cmon its my final and im in a hurry
