Question

the figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left, though it might have also been rotated. answer attempt 1 out of 2 which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment mo? what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In scaled - copies, corresponding sides are in proportion. By observing the lengths of the sides in the grid (counting the number of units between the endpoints).
Let's assume the length of \(MO\) (counting the horizontal units between \(M\) and \(O\)) is \(2\) units.
For the side \(SR\) (counting the horizontal units between \(S\) and \(R\)) in the larger figure, if we assume the grid has unit - length squares.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

The scale factor \(k\) is the ratio of the length of a side in the scaled - copy to the length of the corresponding side in the original figure.
If the length of \(MO = 2\) units and the length of \(SR=4\) units. Then the scale factor \(k=\frac{\text{length of corresponding side in scaled - copy}}{\text{length of side in original}}=\frac{4}{2}=2\)

Answer:

The side that corresponds to segment \(MO\) is \(SR\). The scale factor is \(2\).
