Reductions, Reductions, Enlargements and the Enlargements and the
Scale FactorScale Factor Now if the red square is the original
drawing, what is the blue square called?
What is the yellow square called?
How could we determine how many times bigger the blue square is?
How could we determine how many times smaller the yellow square is?
What do we call that?
Reductions, Reductions, Enlargements and the Enlargements and the
Scale FactorScale FactorThe red square has side lengths of 3.
The blue square has side lengths of 6.
So the enlargement has a scale factor of:
Side length of scale drawingSide length of original drawing
which reduces to

Scale FactorScale FactorThe red square has side lengths of 3.
The yellow square has side lengths of 1.
So the reduction has a scale factor of:
Side length of scale drawingSide length of original drawing

The blue square has side lengths of 4.
The yellow square has side lengths of 2.
What are the scale factors of each?

What do you notice about the new drawing? What about its ‘name’?
The new triangle is called ________ with side lengths:A’B’ = _______B’C’ = _______A’C’ = _______

Triangle JKL needs to be reduced by a scale factor of 0.5.
What are the new side lengths of triangle J’K’L’?

J’K’ = 4 x ________K’L’ = 8 x ________J’L’ = 9 x _________
So Triangle J’K’L’ now looks like this:
STOPThis picture of a stop sign is a reduction of a real stop sign…obviously. It is shown at a scale factor of 1:30. The side lengths of the scale drawing are 25mm.What is the original side length in cm of an actual stop sign?
STOPWhat is the original side length in cm of an actual stop sign?Multiply the side length by the ____________________.
25mm x _____ = 750mm
Now convert 750mm to cm.
750mm x 1cm = 75cm10 mm
STOPWhat is the original side length in cm of an actual stop sign?
750mm x 1cm = ________cm
10 mm
So the original side length of the original stop sign was _________cm.
