Unit 2 Test Review 8th grade math

Rectangle A measures 12cm by 3 cm. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of Rectangle A. Select ALL measurements that could be Rectangle B.

• 6cm by 1.5cm

• 10cm by 2cm

• 13cm by 4 cm

• 80cm by 20cm

• 18cm by 4.5cm

Answer explanation

When we are talking about scale figures the ratio has to be the same. Since 12/3 = 4 then any scale drawing would have the same ratio.

In the picture lines AB and CD are parallel. Find the measure of angleDCF.

(a)  

Answer explanation

Since the lines are parallel we know that alternate interior angles are congruent. Then we also know that a linear pair (two angles that make a straight line) have to add up to 180 degrees.
