Answer:
scale factor = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides , B to A
scale factor = [tex]\frac{50}{30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Then
[tex]\frac{x}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
3x = 75 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 25
and
[tex]\frac{18}{y}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
5y = 54 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y = 10.8
