Use the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in. Scale factor= 3 in:2m. Which proportion could you use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square?

Given:

The side of square = 12 in.

Scale factor of enlargement = 3 in : 2 m

To find:

The proportion that is use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square.

Solution:

Let, the side of length of enlarged square = x m

In case of enlargement the corresponding sides are proportional.

Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, the required proportion is and the side length of the square after enlargement is 8 m.
