Answer

Explanation:
Enlargement scale factor (ESF) = \(\frac{Big}{Small}\)
let K is the enlargement factor
K = \(\frac{Big}{Small}\)
Big = K x small
The size of the Rachel company logo after an enlargement of the Roofs by Rachel logo is same as the original.

 Write ratios comparing the lengths of the short and long sides of the original parallelogram and also of your enlarged parallelogram. What do you find?
Answer:
Ratios comparing the lengths of the short and long sides of the original parallelogram are of  1 : K.
Explanation:
Enlargement scale factor (ESF) = \(\frac{Big}{Small}\)

1. A. Triangle ABC is a drawing of the side of a roof. Use a ruler and a protractor to measure ∆ABC.
∠A measures ____ °
∠B measures ____ °
∠C measures ____ °
HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 1 Answer Key Investigate Reductions and Enlargements 4
\(\overline{A B}\) measures _____ inch(es).
\(\overline{B C}\) measures _____ inch(es).
\(\overline{A C}\) measures _____ inch(es).
Answer:
∠A measures 100°
∠B measures 30°
∠C measures 50°
\(\overline{A B}\) measures 3 inch(es).
\(\overline{B C}\) measures 4 inch(es).
\(\overline{A C}\) measures 2 inch(es).

Explanation:
By using protractor all the angles are measured, recorded measurements are as shown in the above.

B. If ∆A’B’C’ is a reduction of ∆ABC that results in ∆A’B’C’ having a perimeter exactly half that of ∆ABC, what are the measurements of ∆A’B’C’?
∠A’ measures ____° \(\overline{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}\) measures ____ inches
∠B’ measures ____° \(\overline{B^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures ____ inches
∠C’ measures ____° \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures ____ inches
Answer:
∠A’ measures 100° \(\overline{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}\) measures 1.5 inches.
∠B’ measures 30° \(\overline{B^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 2 inches.
∠C’ measures 50° \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 1 inches.

Explanation:
∆A’B’C’ having a perimeter exactly half that of ∆ABC
every side of the triangle is reduced to half, then the perimeter is also will be half
∆ABC’ perimeter is
AB + BC + AC = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 inches
∆A’B’C’ having a perimeter is
A’B’ + B’C’ + A’C’ = 1.5 + 2 + 1 = 4.5 inches
4.5 exactly half that of ∆ABC
Reduction scale factor (RSF) = \(\frac{small}{big}\)
half = \(\frac{small}{big}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’B’}{AB}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{B’C’}{BC}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’C’}{AC}\)
fine the new image triangle values
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’B’}{3}\)
A’B’ = \(\frac{1 X 3}{2}\) = 1.5 inches
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{B’C’}{4}\)
B’C’ = \(\frac{1 X 4}{2}\) = 2 inches
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’C’}{2}\)
A’C’ = \(\frac{1 X 2}{2}\) = 1 inch
∠A’ measures 100° \(\overline{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}\) measures 1.5 inches
∠B’ measures 30° \(\overline{B^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 2 inches
∠C’ measures 50° \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 1 inches

C. Draw ∆A’B’C’ as a reduction. Find the new image triangle values?
Answer:

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’B’}{3}\)
A’B’ = \(\frac{1 X 3}{2}\) = 1.5 inches
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{B’C’}{4}\)
B’C’ = \(\frac{1 X 4}{2}\) = 2 inches
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’C’}{2}\)
A’C’ = \(\frac{1 X 2}{2}\) = 1 inch
∠A’ measures 100°, \(\overline{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}\) measures 1.5 inches
∠B’ measures 30°, \(\overline{B^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 2 inches
∠C’ measures 50°, \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) measures 1 inches

D. Explain how you know it is a reduction.
Answer:
When Scale Factor is between 0 and 1, the new shape is a reduction (smaller).
Or less than 100%. When Scale Factor is above 1, new shape is an enlargement (bigger).
The size of an enlargement/reduction is described by its scale factor.

Explanation:
Reduction scale factor (RSF) = \(\frac{small}{big}\)
half = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{small}{big}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’B’}{AB}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{B’C’}{BC}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{A’C’}{AC}\)

Turn and Talk What would happen if you enlarged ∆A’B’C’? Could you make a new image that is congruent to the original figure ∆ABC? If so, how?
Answer:
Yes,

Explanation:
The enlarged ∆A’B’C’, a new image that is congruent to the original figure ∆ABC.
if the enlargement factor is twice or 2, then original i mage will be formed.
Enlargement scale factor (ESF) = \(\frac{big}{small}\)
2 = \(\frac{big}{small}\)
big = 2 x small

2. Samuel wants to draw a railroad tunnel on a grid. First he draws the far end of the tunnel in blue as shown, then he decides to use rays to help him accurately enlarge the image.
A. Samuel draws two rays. Each starts at the origin and passes through a vertex of the blue preimage. He uses the rays to help sketch the floor of the tunnel closest to the viewer.
HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 1 Answer Key Investigate Reductions and Enlargements 6
How do the rays help him draw the floor of the tunnel closest to the viewer?
Answer:
Two rays helps to enlarge the floor of the tunnel closest to the viewer.
Explanation:
From the center the rays are extended to all vertices,
the original figure scale factor is multiplied by 2.
The resultant figure is double the original picture.

B. Draw additional rays from the origin through the vertices of Samuel’s preimage. Use those rays to complete the enlarged image.

If a Figure Q is enlarged to form Figure P.
Figure P and Q are congruent due to the angles are equal.
Figure P and Q sides may be differ by its lengths.
