Question

1. enter the missing lengths in polygon b. 8. enter the missing angle measurements in polygon a. 9. tyler says that figure k is a scaled copy of figure g. is tyler correct? explain your thinking. figure g 4 cm figure k 2 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of scaled - copies

In scaled - copies, the ratio of corresponding side - lengths is constant.

Step2: Calculate the ratio of side - lengths

The height of Figure G is 4 cm and the height of Figure K is 2 cm. The ratio of the height of Figure K to the height of Figure G is $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step3: Check other side - lengths for consistency

If Figure K is a scaled copy of Figure G, all corresponding side - lengths should have the same ratio. However, if we consider the horizontal side - lengths (the lengths of the "teeth" and the overall horizontal extent), we can see that the shape of the "teeth" in Figure K is different from that in Figure G in a non - proportional way. For example, the relative thickness of the "teeth" and their spacing are not in the same proportion as the height ratio. So, the side - lengths do not all have the same ratio.

Answer:

Tyler is not correct.
