A company is looking to design a new cover for their smartphone. The scale drawing of the design is shown below. The coordinates of the actual cover are: R' (12, 0); S' (0, 0); T' (0, 16); U' (12, 16). Is the design of the cover similar to the actual cover?Rectangle RSTU is shown. Point R is at 3,0. S is at 0,0. T is at 0,4. U is at 3,4. Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional. Yes; the corresponding angles are proportional. No; the corresponding angles are not proportional.
Accepted Solution
A:
The vertices of the current cover are: R '(12, 0); S '(0, 0); T '(0, 16); U '(12, 16) The vertices of the design are: R (3, 0); S (0, 0); T (0, 4); U (3, 4) We then have the following relationship: ((1/4) x ', ((1/4) y') -----> (x, y) Equivalently: (1/4) R '= R (1/4) S '= S (1/4) T '= T (1/4) U '= U Therefore, the points are proportional and the proportionality constant is: k = 1/4 Answer: Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional.
