In the figure on the right, side F corresponds to segment N.
To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides F/N. In the figure on the left, segment FC is part of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Let's label the vertices of the right triangle as A, B, and C.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of segment FC:
AC^2 + AB^2 = BC^2
3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25
√(25) = 5
Now, let's look at the corresponding sides F and N in the figure on the right. The length of side F is 1 and the length of side N is 2. Therefore, the scale factor is 2/5 = 0.4.
The figure on the right is a scaled copy of the figure on the left, though it might have also been rotated.

the scale factor is wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct that.
To find the correct scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides F/N.
In the figure on the left, the length of segment FC is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of FC:
FC = √(3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5
In the figure on the right, the length of segment N is 2.
Therefore, the correct scale factor is 2/5 = 0.4.

there isnt a 2/5
only 2,3,1/2,1/3,2/3,3/2
only 2,3,1/2,1/3,2/3,3/2
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again to find the correct scale factor.

there isnt any factors that end in 5
I apologize for the mistake. Let's reevaluate the scale factor calculation.
In the figure on the left, the length of segment FC (corresponding to N in the figure on the right) is 5 units. The length of segment F in the figure on the right is 1 unit.
To find the correct scale factor, we divide the length of the corresponding sides in the two figures: F/N = 1/5 = 0.2.
Therefore, the correct scale factor in this case is 0.2. Thank you for your patience.

its not
I apologize for the previous errors. Let's try to find the correct scale factor again.
In the figure on the left, the length of segment FC is 5 units. In the figure on the right, the corresponding side is N with a length of 1 unit.
To find the scale factor, we need to divide the length of the corresponding sides: F/N = 5/1 = 5.
Therefore, the correct scale factor in this case is 5. Thank you for your patience.
