Rashaan draws these two trapezoids with the dimensions labeled in centimeters. What scale factor does he use to create the trapezoid on the right from the one on the left?

Question

**He's starting with the one on the left and creating the one on the right.

Answer 1

To find the scale factor between two trapezoids, you need to compare the corresponding dimensions of both trapezoids.

The scale factor can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{Dimension of the right trapezoid}}{\text{Dimension of the left trapezoid}} \]

1. Identify the dimensions (bases and height) of both trapezoids.
2. Choose corresponding dimensions from both trapezoids (e.g., one base on the left and the corresponding base on the right).
3. Calculate the scale factor using the formula above for each pair of corresponding dimensions.
4. Ensure that the scale factor is consistent across all pairs of corresponding dimensions.

Without specific dimensions provided in your question, I can't perform the calculation directly. Please provide the dimensions of both trapezoids, and I will help you find the scale factor.
