Corey drew the two squares shown and labeled their areas. The second is a scale drawing of the first. scaled square: 64 square inches drawing of square: 4 square inches What scale factor did Corey use to draw the second square?

1 answer

To find the scale factor used to draw the second square, we can divide the area of the scaled square by the area of the drawing of the square:

Scale factor = Area of scaled square / Area of drawing of square
Scale factor = 64 square inches / 4 square inches
Scale factor = 16

Therefore, Corey used a scale factor of 16 to draw the second square.
