What scale factor doubles the size of a figure?
Depends what you mean by the "size" of the figure.To double the linear dimensions of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by 2.To double the area of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by sqrt(2). (1.4142)
How do the area and perimeter of the area of a figure change when it's dimensions change?
The answer depends entirely on how the dimensions change. It is possible to change the dimensions without changing the perimeter. It is also possible to change the dimensions without changing the area. (And it is possible to change the area without changing the perimeter.)
What is the multiplier used on each dimension to change one figure into a similar figure?
scale factor!
Stretching and shrinking math book answers?
Stretching and shrinking math book answers refer to changing the size of a figure while maintaining its shape. When stretching, all dimensions of the figure are multiplied by a constant factor, while when shrinking, they are divided by a constant factor. It's like playing with Silly Putty, but with numbers.
What are the dimensions of a triangle?
A triangle is a plane figure so it has two dimensions: length and breadth.
When both dimensions of a figure are changed using the same scale factor is the change proportional or non proportional?
If it is a 2-dimensional figure then it is proportional.
Does a figure change its dimensions when translated?
No but if it is enlarged its dimensions are changed
How does the perimeter of a figure change if the dimensions are changed from yards o feet?
The absolute value of the perimeter doesn't change, only the unit value which increases by a factor of 3.
How does a scale factor effect the dimensions of a figure?
Each linear dimension is altered by a multiple which is the scale factor.
What scale factor doubles the size of a figure?
Depends what you mean by the "size" of the figure.To double the linear dimensions of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by 2.To double the area of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by sqrt(2). (1.4142)
Does a figure change dimensions when translated?
No only a change of place is made
How does a dilation of a figure with a scale factor 0.5 compare to a dilation of the figure worth a scale factor 2?
A dilation with a scale factor of 0.5 reduces the size of the figure to half its original dimensions, resulting in a smaller figure. In contrast, a dilation with a scale factor of 2 enlarges the figure to twice its original dimensions, creating a larger figure. Therefore, the two dilations produce figures that are similar in shape but differ significantly in size, with the scale factor of 2 yielding a figure that is four times the area of the figure dilated by 0.5.
How do the area and perimeter of the area of a figure change when it's dimensions change?
The answer depends entirely on how the dimensions change. It is possible to change the dimensions without changing the perimeter. It is also possible to change the dimensions without changing the area. (And it is possible to change the area without changing the perimeter.)
What is the scale factor that doubles the size of a figure is?
The scale factor that doubles the size of a figure is 2. When a figure is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, all its dimensions—such as length, width, and height—are multiplied by 2, resulting in a figure that has four times the area and eight times the volume of the original.
What is the multiplier used on each dimension to change one figure into a similar figure?
scale factor!
How is the perimeter and the size change factor related?
If you change the scale factor of a geometric figure by a factor "x", that is, keeping the new figure similar to the old one, the perimeter (which is also a linear measurement) will change by the SAME factor "x".Note that any area will change by a factor of x squared.
How does proportional change in the dimensions affect the area of a figure?
If the new linear dimensions are k times the old dimensions, then the new area is k2 times the old area.
