Question

answer attempt 1 out of 4 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment de? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Corresponding sides in similar figures have the same shape and orientation. By observing the figures, segment \( DE \) corresponds to segment \( KI \).

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Let's assume the length of \( DE \) is \( 2 \) units (by counting grid - squares) and the length of \( KI \) is \( 4 \) units. The scale factor \( k=\frac{\text{length of }KI}{\text{length of }DE}\). So \( k = \frac{4}{2}=2 \)

Answer:

Corresponding side: \( KI \); Scale factor: \( 2 \)
