Question

Michel uses the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in.


Which proportion could Michel use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square?

Answer 1

the correct answer is 3in/2m=12in/x

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2} =\frac{12}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of square = 12 inches.

Now we are given that Michel uses the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square

Scale Factor = 3 in. : 2 m

Now let the side of enlarged square be x

So, Using scale factor

$\frac{3}{2} =\frac{12}{x}$

$x=12 \times \frac{2}{3}$

$x=8$

Thus the side of enlarged square is 8 m

So, $\frac{3}{2} =\frac{12}{x}$ proportion could Michel use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square

Hence Option D is correct.
