When discussing scaled copies of a polygon, several properties apply that must hold true for any scaled copy \( Q \) of a polygon \( P \). Here are the statements that are generally true:
1. **Proportionality of Side Lengths**: The lengths of sides in polygon \( Q \) will be proportional to the lengths of the corresponding sides in polygon \( P \). If the scale factor is \( k \), then each side length of \( Q \) is equal to \( k \) times the corresponding side length of \( P \).
2. **Similar Angles**: The corresponding angles of both polygons \( P \) and \( Q \) will be equal. The angles are not changed by scaling; they remain the same.
3. **Number of Sides**: The number of sides in polygon \( Q \) will be equal to the number of sides in polygon \( P \). Scaling does not change the number or nature of the sides, just their lengths.
4. **Shape**: The shape of polygon \( Q \) will be similar to the shape of polygon \( P \). Although sizes change, the overall shape remains consistent as scaling maintains the proportional relationships.
5. **Orientation**: The relative orientation of the polygon structure remains constant. However, it is important to note that a scaled copy may be translated, rotated, or reflected.
These properties hold for any scaled copy of a polygon, regardless of the scale factor used.
If you have specific statements you'd like me to evaluate, please list them, and I can indicate which are true for a scaled copy of a polygon.
