Question

PLEASE ANSWER

The two pentagons seen below are similar figures. What is the scale factor from the
small pentagon on the left to the large pentagon on the right? The pentagons are not
drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

The scale factor is 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, you look at the length of any two sides that correspond to each other. For example, in the diagram we can see that the side with the length of 4 on the smaller pentagon corresponds to the side with the length of 8.8 on the larger pentagon.

To find the scale factor, you divide the length of the side of the larger pentagon, by the length of the side of the smaller pentagon.

$\frac{8.8}{4} = 2.2$

The scale factor is 2.2

Hope this helps!
