Identifying Scale Factors in Geometry

What is the purpose of determining a scale factor between two figures?

• To understand if one figure is larger than the other

• To confirm if one figure is a scaled copy of the other

• To calculate the perimeter of the figures

• To find out which figure is newer

What method is used to determine the scale factor between two geometric figures?

• Dividing the length of a side in one figure by the corresponding side in the other

• Measuring the angles between corresponding sides

• Subtracting the lengths of corresponding sides

• Adding the lengths of all sides

If one side of Figure A is 2 units and the corresponding side in Figure B is 6 units, what is the scale factor?

• 4

• 3

• 6

• 2

How can we verify that Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A?

• By measuring the area of both figures

• By comparing the color of the figures

• By checking if all corresponding sides have been scaled by the same factor

• By counting the number of sides

What does a scale factor of 3 indicate about the relationship between two figures?

• Figure B is three times smaller than Figure A

• Figure B is three times larger than Figure A

• Each side of Figure B is three times longer than the corresponding side in Figure A

• The figures are of the same size

If a side in Figure A is 4 units, what should be the length of the corresponding side in Figure B with a scale factor of 3?

• 7 units

• 12 units

• 8 units

• 11 units

What should be the length of a side in Figure B if the corresponding side in Figure A is 3 units and the scale factor is 3?

• 9 units

• 6 units

• 3 units

• 12 units

Which statement confirms that Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A?

• All sides in Figure B are longer than those in Figure A

• Only one side in Figure B matches a side in Figure A when scaled

• All corresponding sides in Figure B are three times the length of those in Figure A

• Figure B has more sides than Figure A
