Can someone please help?! Explain step by step of how you would find the scale factor for the following problem.

Scale factor = 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work out the lengths of the corresponding sides.

The scale factor is the ratio of one side to the other.

Take the smallest length in both triangles.

Blue triangle:

length = √((7.5-2.5)^2 + (12.5-5)^2) = 9.0139 units.

Red triangle:

length = √((3-1)^2 + (5-2)^2) =3.6056

So the scale factor

= 9.0139/ 3.6056

= 2.5.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
