Two rectangles are similar. the length and width of the first rectangle are 12
and 5, respectively. the length and width of the second rectangle are 14.4 and
6, respectively. the scale factor used to get from the first rectangle to the
second one is

scale factor = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.

scale factor = = = 1.2

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
