# Rectangles P, Q, R, and S are scaled copies of one another. For each pair, decide if the scale factor

Rectangles P, Q, R, and S are scaled copies of one another. For each pair, decide if the scale factor from one to the other is greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1.

im new, sorry if this is wrong.

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.

The image showing the complete question is attached.

1) Scale factor = 2

2) Scale factor = 4

3) Scale factor = ½

4) Scale factor = 2

5) Scale factor = 1

6) Scale factor = ¼

7) Scale factor = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor is a number by which the dimensions of an object are multiplied in order to create an enlarged or reduced object.

Now, from the image attached;

1) From P to Q, we see that the length of Q seems to be double that of P. Similarly, the width of Q seems to be double that of P. Thus, each dimension of P is said to be multiplied by 2 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of Q.

Thus, scale factor = 2

2) From P to R, we see that the length of R seems to be 4 times that of P. Similarly, the width of R seems to be 4 times that of P. Thus, each dimension of P is said to be multiplied by 4 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of R.

Thus, scale factor = 4

3) From Q to S, we see that the length of S seems to be half of that of Q. Similarly, the width of S seems to be half of Q. Thus, each dimension of Q is said to be multiplied by ½ to achieve the reduced dimensions of S.

Thus, scale factor = ½

4) From Q to R, we see that the length of R seems to be double that of Q. Similarly, the width of R seems to be double that of Q. Thus, each dimension of Q is said to be multiplied by 2 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of R.

Thus, scale factor = 2

5) From S to P, we can see that the dimensions of both rectangles remain the same. Thus, S was multiplied by a factor of 1 to get P. Scale factor = 1

6) From R to P, we see that the length of P seems to be a quarter that of R. Similarly, the width of P seems to be quarter of R. Thus, each dimension of R is said to be multiplied by ¼ to achieve the reduced dimensions of P.

Thus, scale factor = ¼

7) From P to S, we can see that the dimensions of both rectangles remain the same. Thus, P was multiplied by a factor of 1 to get S. Scale factor = 1
