Answer:
a). y = 4.5
b) Scale factor = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Since, polygon Q is the scaled copy of polygon P
Both the figures will be similar.
Therefore, their corresponding sides will be proportional.
[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
If x = 6,
[tex]\frac{6}{y} =\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{3\times 6}{4}[/tex]
y = 4.5
b). Since, polygon Q is the scaled copy of polygon P,
Polygon Q will be the image of preimage polygon P.
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Length of a side of the image}}{\text{Length of a side of the preimage}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
