Question

Priya drew a triangle with the side lengths 3, 4, 5. She wants to draw a triangle that is a SMALLER scaled copy. Which of the following are scale factors she could use to make the triangle smaller?

Answer 1

Answer:

She could  make the triangle smaller by making the same triangle but smaller and add the same sides to the small triangle.

Answer 2

scale factors she could use to make the triangle smaller is $\frac{1}{2}$

Given :

Priya drew a triangle with the side lengths 3, 4, 5

Given options are :

1.) 1/2

2.) 1

3.) 2

4.) 6

Explanation :

The ratio of the measurement of the corresponding sides of a triangle is a scale factor .

When we multiply the side length by a scale factor >1 that gives a bigger scaled copy

When we multiply the side length by a scale factor <1 that gives a smaller scaled copy

From the given options , scale factor 1/2 is less than 1

So 1/2 is the scale factor that could use to make the triangle smaller
