Question

mario was given the following enlargement.
what is the length of side a, in centimeters?
33
24
15
12

Explanation:

Step1: Find the scale factor

The corresponding side of the larger parallelogram is \(12\) cm and the smaller one is \(6\) cm. The scale factor \(k=\frac{12}{6} = 2\).

Step2: Calculate the length of side \(A\)

Let the length of side \(A\) be \(x\). We know that \(\frac{30}{x}=2\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x = 15\) cm.

Answer:

\(15\)
