i am a lil bit confused on this... Here is a polygon Identify the new lengths of all of the sides of the scaled copy with a scale factor of 1/2 .

9514 1404 393

  a' = 3, b' = 4, c' = 2, d' = 2, e' = 1, f' = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to identify the lengths of the sides in this figure:

Then, you multiply each of these lengths by the scale factor, 1/2. Equivalently, divide them by 2.

The scaled side lengths are ...

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
