Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left. answer attempt 1 out of 5 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment xz? ln what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In similar - scaled figures, corresponding sides are in proportion. Given that the right - hand figure is a scaled copy of the left - hand figure, and we know that side $XZ$ corresponds to side $LN$.

Step2: Determine scale factor

Let's assume we know the lengths of a pair of corresponding sides. If the length of a side in the original figure (left) is $a$ and the length of the corresponding side in the scaled figure (right) is $b$, the scale factor $k=\frac{b}{a}$. Since no side - length values are given, we assume the general concept. If we consider the fact that the smaller figure is a scaled - down version of the larger one, and we assume the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides. Let's say if we assume the length of $XZ$ is $3$ units and the length of $LN$ is $1$ unit. The scale factor from the larger figure to the smaller figure is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
