What is Scale Factor ?

Scale Factor is defined as the ratio of size of new image formed to the size of old image.

We have,

A parallelogram with side lengths [tex]18[/tex] centimeters and [tex]45[/tex] centimeters.

And,

A second parallelogram with side lengths [tex]A[/tex] and [tex]5[/tex] centimeters.

Now,

Scale Factor [tex]=\frac{size\ of\ new\ image}{size\ of\ old\ image}[/tex]

So,

Now, Comparing sides ,

We get,

Scale Factor [tex]=\frac{45}{5}=9[/tex]

i.e. the second parallelogram have Scale Factor of [tex]9[/tex].

So,

Other sides of both parallelograms will be of same Scale Factor.

i.e.

[tex]=\frac{18}{A} =9[/tex]

⇒

[tex]A=2[/tex] cm

Hence, we can say that the length of side A in the new parallelogram will be [tex]2[/tex] cm.
