Understanding Scaled Figures

The video tutorial explains how to determine if one figure is a scaled copy of another by comparing corresponding sides and points. It demonstrates the process using two figures, verifying the scale factor by comparing the lengths of corresponding segments. The tutorial also guides viewers in identifying corresponding points and segments between the figures, emphasizing the importance of relative positions in scaled copies.

What is the primary method to verify if one figure is a scaled copy of another?

• By comparing the corresponding sides

• By measuring the angles

• By comparing the colors of the figures

• By checking the area of the figures

What role do corresponding sides play in verifying scaled figures?

• They are used to measure angles

• They indicate the color of the figure

• They are used to calculate the perimeter

• They help in determining the scaling factor

If segment EA is 3 units and segment OP is 6 units, what is the scaling factor?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

Which point on Figure 1 corresponds to point Q on Figure 2?

• Point A

• Point D

• Point B

• Point C

Why is it important to identify corresponding points in scaled figures?

• To determine the color of the figures

• To verify the scaling factor

• To calculate the area

• To measure the angles

What is the corresponding segment in Figure 2 for segment DC in Figure 1?

• Segment NM

• Segment PQ

• Segment OP

• Segment AB

How do you verify that two segments are scaled copies of each other?

• By checking if they are parallel

• By comparing their angles

• By ensuring their lengths have a consistent scaling factor

• By checking if they have the same length

What is the length of segment DC in Figure 1?

• 2 units

• 3 units
