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 $7$.
