A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on a on each side the travel version of the game uses the a triangle in a proportional

relationship to the original it measures 0.5 inches on each side identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of this piece

1 answer

To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles.

The original triangle has a side length of 3 inches, while the travel version has a side length of 0.5 inches.

So, the scale factor is 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6.

The scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
