Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment nl? vy what is the scale factor? 2 3 1/2 1/3 2/3 3/2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

We know that the figure on the right is a scaled - copy of the left. Given that side $NL$ corresponds to side $VY$.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Count the lengths of corresponding sides on a grid (assuming each grid square is of unit length). Let's say the length of $NL$ is $2$ units and the length of $VY$ is $3$ units. The scale factor $k$ from the left - hand figure to the right - hand figure is given by the ratio of the length of a side in the right - hand figure to the length of the corresponding side in the left - hand figure. So, $k=\frac{\text{length of }VY}{\text{length of }NL}=\frac{3}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$
