polygon q is a scaled copy of polygon p.
a. the value of x is 6, what is the value of y?
type your answer in the box.
y = units
b. what is the scale factor?
type your answer in the box.
Step1: Encontrar el factor de escala
Dado que Polygon Q es una copia escalada de Polygon P, el factor de escala \( k\) se calcula como \( k=\frac{\text{lado de Q}}{\text{lado de P}}\). Los lados correspondientes son 3 y 4. Entonces \( k = \frac{3}{4}\).
Step2: Calcular el valor de \( y\)
Como \( y\) y \( x = 6\) son lados correspondientes, \( y=k\times x\). Sustituyendo \( k=\frac{3}{4}\) y \( x = 6\), tenemos \( y=\frac{3}{4}\times6=\frac{18}{4}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\).
