Question

quadrilateral m is a scaled copy of quadrilateral l.
quadrilateral l has a side labeled 6.5 and another labeled 9.5. quadrilateral m has a side labeled 5.2 and another labeled 7.6.
what scale factor takes quadrilateral l to quadrilateral m?

Explanation:

Step1: Select corresponding sides

Quadrilateral L has a side 6.5, Quadrilateral M has a corresponding side 5.2.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Side length in M}}{\text{Side length in L}} = \frac{5.2}{6.5} = 0.8$

Answer:

0.8
