What is the scale factor of 24 ft?
A scale factor requires two measures.
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 happens to an enlarged image when the scale factor of enlargement is greater than one?
It depends on the aspect ratio. If it is a square object then it should scale up evenly. But if it is a rectangle then eventually a large enough scale factor will make it looked stretch on the longer sides.
How do you find the scale factor of a triangle?
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
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
