a rectangular image that measures 8.5 meters inches by 11 inches is scaled down so that logest side of the image is 2.2 meters. use these values to calculate the scaled factor

Answer :

The scale factor of the image which is the ratio of the longest side of image and the longest side of the actual rectangle is 0.259

Actual Dimension of rectangle :

  • Longest side = 8.5 meters

Scaled dimension of the rectangle :

  • Longest side = 2.2 meters

To obtain the scale factor used to produce the image :

  • Longest side of image ÷ Longest side of actual triangle

  • 2.2 meters ÷ 8.5 meters

  • Scale factor = 0.259

Therefore, the scaled factor used to produce the image of the rectangle is 0.259
