Question

If circle O
has a circumference of 37 meters and circle P
has a circumference of 111 meters, then what is the scale factor from O
to P
?(1 point)
m

Answer 1

To find the scale factor from circle O to circle P based on their circumferences, you can divide the circumference of circle P by the circumference of circle O.

Given:
- Circumference of circle O (C_O) = 37 meters
- Circumference of circle P (C_P) = 111 meters

The scale factor (k) is calculated as follows:

\[
k = \frac{C_P}{C_O} = \frac{111}{37} \approx 3
\]

Therefore, the scale factor from circle O to circle P is approximately 3.
