Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?

Answer 1

To determine the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the parallelograms.

Let's say the length of the base of the parallelogram on the left is x inches.

From the image, we can see that the length of the base of the parallelogram on the right is 6 inches.

Therefore, the scale factor is 6/x, which means the length of the corresponding side in the right parallelogram is 6 times the length of the corresponding side in the left parallelogram.
