Exploring Scaled Copies in 7th Grade Mathematics

The video tutorial covers the concept of scaled copies, starting with an introduction using a figure resembling the letter A. It explains how to identify scaled copies by comparing dimensions and symmetry. The tutorial includes a discussion on Tyler's argument about scaling, using the Rose Bowl Stadium as an example to identify scaled copies. It concludes with solving equations related to scaling, providing a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

Which figure is a scaled copy of the original 'A'?

• Figure 4

• Figure 2

• Figure 1

• Figure 3

Why is Figure 1 not a scaled copy of the original 'A'?

• It is not symmetrical.

• It is rotated.

• It is not the same color.

• It is three units tall and two units wide.

What is the main reason Tyler's reasoning about Figure B being a scaled copy is incorrect?

• Figure B is not the same color.

• Figure B is not half as wide as well as half as tall.

• Figure B is rotated.

• Figure B is not symmetrical.

Which picture of the Rose Bowl Stadium is a scaled copy of the original?

• Picture D

• Picture A

• Picture B

• Picture C

Why is Picture C not a scaled copy of the original Rose Bowl Stadium picture?

• Its height is much shorter.

• It is not the same color.

• Its width is much wider.

• It is rotated.
