Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment po? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In similar - scaled figures, corresponding sides are in proportion. By observing the orientation and position of the figures, side $IH$ in the right - hand figure corresponds to side $PO$ in the left - hand figure.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count the grid lengths of corresponding sides. Let's assume side $PO$ has a length of 6 units (by counting grid squares) and side $IH$ has a length of 2 units. The scale factor $k$ from the larger figure (left) to the smaller figure (right) is given by the ratio of the length of a side in the smaller figure to the length of the corresponding side in the larger figure. So, $k=\frac{\text{length of }IH}{\text{length of }PO}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

Which side corresponds to segment $PO$: $IH$
What is the scale factor: $\frac{1}{3}$
