Randy draw these two triangles of the length given in centimeters which skill factor does she use to create the copy on the right from the original on the left?

1 answer

To determine the skill factor that Randy uses to create the copy of the triangle on the right from the original on the left, we need to know the lengths of the corresponding sides of both triangles. The skill factor, or scale factor, can be calculated by dividing the length of a side of the copied triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle.

For example, if one side of the original triangle is 5 cm and the corresponding side of the copied triangle is 10 cm, the scale factor would be:

Scale Factor = Length of copied triangle side / Length of original triangle side Scale Factor = 10 cm / 5 cm = 2

If you can provide the specific lengths of the sides of the triangles, I can help you calculate the skill factor accurately.
