To determine the scale factor to create the trapezoid on the right from the one on the left, you would usually compare corresponding dimensions of the two trapezoids.
-
Find corresponding dimensions: Measure or use the provided dimensions on both trapezoids. For example, if one trapezoid has a base of 10 cm and the other has a base of 8 cm, those values will be essential.
-
Calculate the scale factor: The scale factor can be calculated by dividing a dimension of the trapezoid on the right by the corresponding dimension of the trapezoid on the left.
\[ \text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{Dimension of trapezoid on right}}{\text{Dimension of trapezoid on left}} \]
-
Apply this formula: Repeat this for several dimensions (e.g., bases, heights) to ensure consistency.
Without the actual measurements, I cannot provide a specific answer. But if you perform the calculation using the values you can obtain from the trapezoids, you should be able to identify the correct scale factor from the options provided (1.25, 2, 0.48, 0.8).
If you have the specific dimensions, please share them, and I can help you calculate the scale factor.
