Respuesta :
Scaling a measurement is multiplying it with some constant. The enlargement will increase scale factor and reduction will decrease it.
How does scaling works?
Suppose that you've got a measurement as 5 cm.
Now if you scale it, then you multiply it with 'x'. The final value is [tex]5x[/tex] cm.
That value [tex]x[/tex] by which we multiply the original measurement is called scale factor.
- If we've got [tex]5x > 5[/tex], then [tex]x > 1[/tex] and its called enlargement.
- If we've got [tex]5x < 5[/tex], then [tex]x < 1[/tex] and its called reduction.
- It we've got [tex]5x = 5[/tex], then [tex]x = 1[/tex] and thus, there was no change.
Thus, we get that:
If building is enlarged, the scale factor is bigger than 1, if building is reduced, then the scale factor is smaller than 1.
