Answer:
Part 1) The scale factor is 3
Part 2) The value of x is 36 in
Part 3) The value of y is 26 in
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the scale factor
we know that
If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
so
In this problem
Let
z-----> the scale factor
step 2
Find the value of x
To find the value of x, multiply the length of 12 by the scale factor
so
step 3
Find the value of y
we know that
