Scaled Copies

Front

What are scaled copies?

Back

Scaled copies are figures that are proportional to the original figure, created by enlarging or reducing the original figure using a scale factor.

Front

What is a scale factor?

Back

A scale factor is a number that scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the context of scaled copies, it determines how much larger or smaller the new figure is compared to the original.

Front

TRUE or FALSE: Corresponding angles in scaled copies are always equal.

Back

TRUE

Front

What happens to the size of a figure when the scale factor is greater than one?

Back

The figure undergoes an enlargement.

Front

What happens to the size of a figure when the scale factor is less than one?

Back

The figure undergoes a reduction.

Front

Define corresponding sides in the context of scaled copies.

Back

Corresponding sides are sides that are in the same position on the original image and on a scaled copy of that image.

Front

If the scale factor is 4, how does the length of a side change?

Back

The length of the side is multiplied by 4.

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of corresponding sides in scaled copies?

Back

The lengths of corresponding sides are proportional to the scale factor.

Front

If a triangle has a side length of 5 and is scaled by a factor of 3, what is the new side length?

Back

15 (5 multiplied by 3).

Front

What is the formula to find the length of a missing side in a scaled copy?

Back

Length of missing side = Length of corresponding side in original figure × Scale factor.
