Lesson 3
Making Scaled Copies
Problem 1
Here are 3 polygons.
![Three polygons labeled A, B, and C.](https://staging-cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/zChmeosYtzQiidi6BJ47nymg?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%227-7.1.A.PP.Image.25.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%277-7.1.A.PP.Image.25.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF37H2AMFB%2F20240722%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240722T141438Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=6413aff7252999440cd63f85fd994edbdc029e3505fe40ce94db12b25f0bc188)
Draw a scaled copy of Polygon A using a scale factor of 2.
Draw a scaled copy of Polygon B using a scale factor of \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Draw a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of \(\frac{3}{2}\).

Problem 4
Priya and Tyler are discussing the figures shown below. Priya thinks that B, C, and D are scaled copies of A. Tyler says B and D are scaled copies of A. Do you agree with Priya, or do you agree with Tyler? Explain your reasoning.
