Question

Figures R,S, and T are all scaled copies of one another. Figure S is scaled copy of R using a scale factor of 3. Figure T is a scaled copy of S using a scale factor of 2. Find the scale factors for each of the following

Answer 1

Answer:

R:S:T=1:3:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it is given that R,S and T are scaled copy of one another.

S is scaled copy of R using scale factor of 3.

Therefore, S:R=3:1

or, $\frac{S}{R}=3\\ S=3R$

T is scaled copy of S using scale factor of 2.

Therefore, T:S=2:1

or, T=2S=2×3R=6R

Thus,

R:S:T=R:3R:6R=1:3:6
