Ch 1-8 (indirect proof) Geometry

Directions : use indirect reasoning to draw a conclusion in each situation

a factor of a whole number is a whole number that divides evenly into the given number. The number x does not divide evenly into 6

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

answer: 24

step-by-step explanation:

7x2=14

5x2=10

10+14=24
