kamla draws a parraellelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create a parrelogram on the right all measurements are in inches what scale factor did h use

To determine the scale factor used by Kamla in her parallelogram drawing, we need the dimensions (lengths of the sides, heights, etc.) of both the original parallelogram on the left and the scaled version on the right. The scale factor can then be calculated by comparing the corresponding dimensions of the two parallelograms.

The formula to find the scale factor is:

\[ \text{Scale Factor} = \frac{\text{Dimension of the scaled parallelogram}}{\text{Dimension of the original parallelogram}} \]

Once you have the dimensions, divide the corresponding sides (or heights) of the right parallelogram by those on the left to find the scale factor.

If you provide the measurements for both parallelograms, I can help you calculate the exact scale factor.

the paraellogram on the lef is 5 inches and 3 in and on the right it is 1 in and 0.7in

To find the scale factor that Kamla used to create the parallelogram on the right from the one on the left, we will compare their corresponding dimensions.

Measurements:

• Left Parallelogram:

  • Length: 5 inches
  • Height: 3 inches

• Right Parallelogram:

  • Length: 1 inch
  • Height: 0.7 inches

Scale Factor Calculation:

1. For Length: \[ \text{Scale Factor for Length} = \frac{\text{Length of right parallelogram}}{\text{Length of left parallelogram}} = \frac{1\text{ in}}{5\text{ in}} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \]

2. For Height: \[ \text{Scale Factor for Height} = \frac{\text{Height of right parallelogram}}{\text{Height of left parallelogram}} = \frac{0.7\text{ in}}{3\text{ in}} = \frac{0.7}{3} \approx 0.2333 \]

Conclusion:

The scale factor for length is \(0.2\), and the scale factor for height is approximately \(0.2333\). Since the scale factors for the two dimensions are not the same, it seems the right parallelogram was not simply scaled uniformly. Rather, the parallelogram was resized differently for its length and height.

However, if looking for an overall average scale factor, you might consider using either, but keep in mind that the scaling does not maintain uniformity.
