Question

kendra made a scaled copy of the following square. she used a scale factor less than 1. 8 units what could be the side length of the scaled copy of the square? choose 3 answers:

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the effect of scale factor

When the scale factor \(k<1\), the side length of the scaled - copy \(s = k\times\) original side length. The original side length is \(8\) units.

Step2: Calculate possible side lengths

Let's assume some values of \(k\).
If \(k=\frac{1}{2}\), then \(s = 8\times\frac{1}{2}=4\) units.
If \(k=\frac{1}{4}\), then \(s = 8\times\frac{1}{4} = 2\) units.
If \(k=\frac{3}{4}\), then \(s=8\times\frac{3}{4}=6\) units.

Answer:

Any three values less than \(8\) units (e.g., \(2\) units, \(4\) units, \(6\) units)
