The perimeter of the actual flag is 22 in. Draw
another scale drawing of the flag with a perimeter
of 11 in. What is the scale of your drawing? Explain.

Answer:

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the actual flag = 22 in.

Perimeter of the scale drawing of the flag = 11 in.

Since, perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all three sides of the given triangle

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing

= [tex]\frac{\text{Measure of the side of drawing}}{\text{Measure of the side of actual}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text{Perimeter of drawing}}{\text{Perimeter of actual}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{11}{22}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing will be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].                                        

Each side of the scaled triangle will be half of the actual triangle.
