Scaled Copies

Front

What is a scaled copy?

Back

A scaled copy is a shape that is the same shape but different in size compared to the original.

Front

If Figure A is twice the size of Figure B, is Figure B a scaled copy of Figure A?

Back

Yes, Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A because it maintains the same shape.

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but may differ in size.

Front

Can a figure be a scaled copy if it looks distorted?

Back

No, a scaled copy must maintain the same proportions and not appear distorted.

Front

If all sides of Figure A are multiplied by 3 to create Figure B, what can we say about Figure B?

Back

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A with a scale factor of 3.

Front

What is the scale factor?

Back

The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures.

Front

If Figure C is a scaled copy of Figure A, what can we say about their angles?

Back

The corresponding angles of Figure C and Figure A are equal.

Front

If two figures have the same area, are they scaled copies?

Back

Not necessarily; they can have the same area but different shapes.

Front

What is an example of a scaled copy in real life?

Back

A map is a scaled copy of a geographical area, showing the same shapes but at a different size.

Front

If Figure D is a scaled copy of Figure A, what can we say about their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of Figure D and Figure A are proportional.
