Question

Use the information to answer the question.

Information
Figure B is a scale image of Figure A.



Two figures. Both figures are triangles. Figure A is larger than Figure B. The base of Figure A is labeled 14. The base of Figure B is labeled x.



Figure A is mapped to Figure B with a scale factor of 1-half.

Question
What is the value of x? Enter the answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find the value of \( x \), we need to use the scale factor given in the information. Since Figure B is a scaled-down version of Figure A with a scale factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \), it means that every dimension of Figure A is multiplied by \( \frac{1}{2} \) to get the corresponding dimension in Figure B.

Given:
- The base of Figure A = 14
- Scale factor = \( \frac{1}{2} \)

We can calculate \( x \):
\[
x = \text{Base of Figure A} \times \text{Scale Factor}
\]
\[
x = 14 \times \frac{1}{2} = 7
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 7 \).
