The scale factor can be determined by taking the ratio of the corresponding side lengths of the original triangle and the travel version of the triangle.
The original triangle has side length 3 inches, and the travel version has side length 0.5 inches.
So, the scale factor can be calculated as:
Scale factor = (side length of travel version) / (side length of original)
Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches
Scale factor = 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangle is 1/6.
The correct answer is A. 1/6.
a board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on each side. the travel version of the game uses 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 the piece. A. 1/6 B. 6 C. 3.5 D. -1/6
