Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left, though it might have also been rotated.
answer
which side in the figure right corresponds to segment vw?
what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Since the figure on the right is a scaled - copy of the left, we need to match the sides. Segment \(VW\) in the left figure corresponds to segment \(RQ\) in the right figure.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

Let's assume the length of \(VW = x\) and the length of \(RQ = 2x\). The scale factor \(k=\frac{\text{length of side in new figure}}{\text{length of side in original figure}}\). If we assume the original side is \(VW\) and the new side is \(RQ\), the scale factor \(k = 2\)

Answer:

Corresponding side: \(RQ\), Scale factor: \(2\)
