What is a factor times a factor?
A product.
Does a period show the number of times a base is used as a factor?
An exponent shows the number of times a base is used as a factor.
Is 4 a factor of 15?
no 4 is not a factor of 15 because 4 times 3 is 12 and 4 times 5 is 20
Is 8 a factor of 46?
No, 8 is not a factor of 46.
Is 18 a factor or a multiple of 36?
Yes 18 times 2 equals 36 It is a factor, not a [proper] multiple.
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 does enlarge by a scale factor of 2 mean?
times by two
How does scale factor relate to perimeter?
Scale factor and perimeter are related because if the scale factor is 2, then the perimeter will be doubled. So whatever the scale factor is, that is how many times the perimeter will be enlarged.
What is the relationship between scale factor and area?
The area is directly proportional to the square of the scale factor. If the scale factor is 2, the area is 4-fold If the scale factor is 3, the area is 9-fold If the scale factor is 1000, the area is 1,000,000-fold
What is the scale factor of 0.8?
When two similar shapes have a scale factor of 0.8, every length of the second is 0.8 times the corresponding length of the first.
What is the scale factor from a square inch to a square yard?
The answer is * (times) 1296
what is the scale factor from ABC to DEF?
Answer: Since you are looking for the scale factor of ABC to DEF the answer is 8 because DEF is 8 times larger than ABC.
What is the length of eh if abcd and efgh are similar?
It is the scale factor times the length of ad.
For parts ac what does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurements a side lengths b perimeter c areas?
For a, it tells you how many times the side lengths grew or shrunk.For b, it tells you that the perimeter grows or shrinks: scale factor times original perimeter.For c, it tells you that the area grows or shrinks: scale factor squared times the original area.
Is it true that On the Richter scale an earthquake measuring 2 is ten times stronger than one measuring 3?
No, it is the other way round - higher numbers indicate a stronger earthquake. The factor 10 is correct, though.
How do you enlarge a shape using a scale factore of 0.5?
When a shape is enlarged, the scale factor tells by how much to multiply each length of the original shape to get the corresponding length on the new shape. So with a scale factor for 0.5 (or 1/2), each length of the new shape is 0.5 (or 1/2) times the lengths of the original shape. For example, to enlarge a triangle with sides 6", 8", 10" by a scale factor or 0.5, the lengths become 6" x 0.5 = 3", 8" x 0.5 = 4", 10" x 0.5 = 5"; so the resulting triangle has sides 3", 4", 5". To do the enlargement through a centre of enlargement, a straight line is drawn from each point (vertex) of the shape to the centre of enlargement. The distance from the centre to the point is measured and multiplied by the scale factor; this new distance is measured along the same line from the centre of enlargement as the original point. In this case, negative scale factors can be given, in which case the new distance is measured in the opposite direction from the centre of enlargement, away from the original point.
What does the scale factor tell you about how the figure changes?
A Scale Factor (SF) is the amount between two objects. lets say i have a square the length of the square is 2cm, the top side is 4cm. Then lets say I have a new square. The length of the square is 4cm, the top of the square is 8cm. The SF would be 2. Because 2 times 2=4. And 4 times 2= 8. P.S scale factor already multiplied. So you don't have to say times 2, then it would be times times 2.
