How do you find the scale factor from 1 polygon to the other?
You cannot. There is no scale factor between an irregular pentagon and an equilateral triangle, for example.
Which polygons will tile the plane?
If it's interior angle is a factor of 360 then it will tessellate such as a square, a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle.
What does dilated mean in math?
it means a transformation in which a polygon is enlarged or reduced by a given factor around a given center point.so its an enlargmant or a reduction
Applications of reduction factor of tangent galvanometer?
reduction factor is used to find earth's magnetic field and compare galvanometer constants
What scale factor is appropriate for reduction?
Any factor between 0 and 1.

What will be the reduction in weight of a substance when it is transferered from earth to moo?
The weight of such an object will be reduced approximately by a factor of 6.

Carey drew an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 45 inches. He dilated the triangle by a scale factor of 0.6. What is the length of each side of the image of the dilated triangle?
Ok if the triangle is equilateral then all the sides have to have the same length. Since the perimeter is 45 inches that means each side is 15 inches. 45 / 3 = 15 Now if he dilates the triangle by a scale factor of 0.6 we have to multiply the length of each side by 0.6. 15 * 0.6 = 9 So the answer is 9 inches
What is a scale factor on a triangle?
If two triangles are similar, then the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles

A dilation is a reduction if the scale factor is?
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
How do you think a period of cold spring will affect the rabbit population?
The rabbit population will be reduced if there is a cold spring, because the rabbits won't be as active, and the food supply will be reduced. However, the activity of predators will also be reduced; so this factor will mitigate the reduction in the rabbit population somewhat.
How do you use the scale factor of a triangle to enlarge it?
The way you use a scale factor to enlarge a triangle is to multiply each side of the triangle by that scale factor. Your triangle will then be that many times larger.

What is a reduction factor?
it mean that your gue hehehe
Is it possible to tessellate a plane by using any single type of regular polygon?
No because a regular polygon will only tessellate if its interior angle is a factor of 360 degrees. For example an equilateral triangle will tessellate because its interior angle is 60 degrees which is a factor of 360 degrees.
