Scale Copy

Front

What is a scaled copy?

Back

A scaled copy is a shape that is the same shape as another but is a different size.

Front

How can you determine if two figures are scaled copies of each other?

Back

Two figures are scaled copies if they have the same shape and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is a scale factor?

Back

The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures.

Front

If the scale factor is 4, what does that mean?

Back

It means that the dimensions of the scaled copy are 4 times larger than the original figure.

Front

Can a scaled copy be smaller than the original figure?

Back

Yes, a scaled copy can be smaller if the scale factor is less than 1.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of scaled copies?

Back

The corresponding angles of scaled copies are equal.

Front

If Figure A has a side length of 2 cm and Figure B is a scaled copy with a scale factor of 3, what is the side length of Figure B?

Back

The side length of Figure B would be 6 cm.

Front

What does it mean if two figures are not scaled copies?

Back

It means that they do not have the same shape or their corresponding sides are not in proportion.

Front

How do you find the scale factor between two figures?

Back

To find the scale factor, divide the length of a side of the scaled copy by the length of the corresponding side of the original figure.

Front

What is an example of a real-world application of scaled copies?

Back

Maps are scaled copies of geographical areas, where distances are reduced by a specific scale factor.
