Use the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in. Scale factor= 3 in:2m. Which proportion could you use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square?

Given:

The side of square = 12 in.

Scale factor of enlargement = 3 in : 2 m

To find:

The proportion that is use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square.

Solution:

Let, the side of length of enlarged square = x m

In case of enlargement the corresponding sides are proportional.

Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, the required proportion is and the side length of the square after enlargement is 8 m.

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
