a right triangle has an area of 24 square units if you draw scaled copies of this triangle using the scale factor in the table what will the areas of these scaled factors be? HINT: (area of scaled copy = (scaled factor) (scaled factor) x original area)

To create a scaled copy, we multiply all the lengths in the original figure by the same number. This number is called the scale factor. In this example, the scale factor is 1.5, because , , and . A scaled copy is a copy of a figure where every length in the original figure is multiplied by the same number.
