Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 3 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment k l? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in the same relative position. Segment $KL$ in the left - hand figure corresponds to segment $XW$ in the right - hand figure.

Step2: Determine scale factor

Let's assume we know the lengths of a pair of corresponding sides. For example, if the length of $KL = a$ and the length of $XW=b$, the scale factor $s$ from the left - hand figure to the right - hand figure is given by $s=\frac{b}{a}$. Since the right - hand figure is smaller, if we measure the lengths and find that, say, the length of $KL = 4$ units and the length of $XW = 2$ units, then $s=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

Corresponding side to $KL$: $XW$
Scale factor: $\frac{1}{2}$ (assuming lengths as in example above; actual value depends on measured lengths of corresponding sides)
