2. rectangle a has length 12 and width 8. rectangle b has length 15 and width 10.
rectangle c has length 30 and width 15.
a. is rectangle a a scaled copy of rectangle b? if so, what is the scale factor?
b. is rectangle b a scaled copy of rectangle a? if so, what is the scale factor?
c. explain how you know that rectangle c is not a scaled copy of rectangle b.
d. is rectangle a a scaled copy of rectangle c? if so, what is the scale factor?

a) Yes. Rectangle A is a scaled copy of rectangle B.

b) Yes. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of rectangle A.

d) No. Rectangle A is not a scaled copy of rectangle C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle A has dimensions 12x8 and

rectangle B has length 15x10

We see that sides of A and B are proportional because

So we say that since sides are proportional A and B are similar or scaled copy of each other.

Since A is smaller and B is bigger,

A is 0.8 scaled copy of B.

Similarly B has

Enlargement scale factor = 1.25

Rectangle C has 30x15

i.e. not proportion with sides of A and B.

Hence we find that C is neither a scaled copy of A nor B.
