Use the image to answer the question. 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? (1 point)
the left shape's width is 3.5 inch and length 5 inch
the right shape's width is 1 inch and length is 0.7 inch
To determine the scale factor used, we can compare the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
Comparing the width of the left shape (3.5 inches) to the width of the right shape (1 inch), we can calculate the scale factor as:
Scale factor (width) = (Width of right shape) / (Width of left shape)
Scale factor (width) = 1 inch / 3.5 inches
Scale factor (width) ≈ 0.2857
Comparing the length of the left shape (5 inches) to the length of the right shape (0.7 inch), we can calculate the scale factor as:
Scale factor (length) = (Length of right shape) / (Length of left shape)
Scale factor (length) = 0.7 inch / 5 inches
Scale factor (length) ≈ 0.14
Since the scale factor for the width and length are different, we can take the average to determine the overall scale factor:
Overall scale factor ≈ (Scale factor (width) + Scale factor (length)) / 2
Overall scale factor ≈ (0.2857 + 0.14) / 2
Overall scale factor ≈ 0.21285
Therefore, Kamla uses a scale factor of approximately 0.21285 to create the parallelogram on the right.
Use the image to answer the question. Scale: 1 box = 5 meters Reproduce the scale drawing of a playground so that it has a scale of 1 box = 20 meters. Which drawing shows the new scale? (1 point)
the shape's width is 4, and the length is 8
To determine which drawing shows the new scale, we need to compare the dimensions of the original scale drawing to the dimensions of the new scale drawing.
In the original scale drawing, 1 box represents 5 meters. This means that the width of the playground in the original drawing is 4 boxes by 5 meters = 20 meters, and the length is 8 boxes by 5 meters = 40 meters.
Now we need to find the new scale, where 1 box represents 20 meters. This means that the width of the playground in the new scale drawing will be 4 boxes by 20 meters = 80 meters, and the length will be 8 boxes by 20 meters = 160 meters.
Comparing these dimensions, we can see that the width of the playground in the new scale drawing should be 80 meters and the length should be 160 meters.
Therefore, the drawing that shows the new scale is the one where the width is 80 meters and the length is 160 meters.

To determine which drawing shows the new scale, we need to compare the dimensions of the original scale drawing to the dimensions of the new scale drawing.
In the original scale drawing, 1 box represents 5 meters. This means that the width of the playground in the original drawing is 1 box by 5 meters = 5 meters, and the length is 2 boxes by 5 meters = 10 meters.
Now we need to find the new scale, where 1 box represents 20 meters. This means that the width of the playground in the new scale drawing will be 1 box by 20 meters = 20 meters, and the length will be 2 boxes by 20 meters = 40 meters.
Comparing these dimensions, we can see that the width of the playground in the new scale drawing should be 20 meters and the length should be 40 meters.
Therefore, the drawing that shows the new scale is the one where the width is 20 meters and the length is 40 meters.
