Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 10 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment vz? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in proportion. By observing the orientation and position of the vertices, we can see that segment $VZ$ in the small figure corresponds to segment $FE$ in the large figure.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count the horizontal and vertical displacements of corresponding points. For example, if we consider a point on the small figure and its corresponding point on the large figure. Let's assume a vertex of the small polygon and its corresponding vertex of the large polygon. If we count the number of grid - squares between corresponding points, we find that each side of the large figure is 3 times the length of the corresponding side of the small figure. So the scale factor is 3.

Answer:

1. Side corresponding to segment $VZ$: $FE$
2. Scale - factor: 3
