Question

The triangle represents a scale drawing that was created by using a scale factor of 1/2.

(picture below)

Answer 1

Answer:

Each side of the original triangle is 2 times the length of each side of the scale drawing

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the measure of the side of the scale drawing

y --- measure of the side of the original triangle

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the measure of the scale drawing by the measure of the original triangle

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{1}{2}$

$x=5\ in$

substitute

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{y}$

solve for y

$y=5(2)=10\ in$

so

The measure of each side of the original triangle is 10 inches

therefore

Each side of the original triangle is 2 times the length of each side of the scale drawing
