Question

remi says that figure b is a scaled copy of figure a because all of the peaks are half as tall. do you agree with remi? why or why not? a yes, i agree with remi, since figure b is half as tall as figure a. b no, i disagree with remi, because figure b is half as tall as figure a, but it is not half as wide.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scaled - copy definition

For a figure to be a scaled copy of another, all corresponding lengths must be in the same ratio.

Step2: Analyze height and width ratios

The height of figure A is 4 cm and of figure B is 2 cm, so height ratio is $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$. But we can see that the width of the two figures is not in the ratio of $\frac{1}{2}$. A scaled - copy requires uniform scaling in all dimensions.

Answer:

B. No, I disagree with Remi, because figure B is half as tall as figure A, but it is not half as wide.
