How do you find a scale factor in math?
To find the scale factors of two objects, you need to compare the ratios of things like their sizes, areas, volumes, and length. For example, if one is given a volume of 7 for a shape, and a second shape has a volume of 14, you have to compare the volume ratio of these two shapes to find the scale factor. This scale factor is 1 to 2, or the volume of the second shape is twice the first one. Scale factors are useful for scale drawings.
What is the scale factor of 24 ft?
A scale factor requires two measures.
Suppose you copy a figure on a copier using the given size factor find the scale factor from the original figure to the copy in decimal form 150 percent?
1.25
How does scale factor relate to area?
If the scale factor is r, then the new area will be the area of the original multiplied by r^2
How can you determine the scale factor of a dilation by looking at a segment and its image?
Every part of the original scales by the same scale factor. By using a segment of the original you will determine the scale factor by dividing the length of the image by the length of the original.
