Question 24 • Math Models A

Which of the following statements are true for using proportions to solve for missing measures? Select three options.

Answer
A
Corresponding dimensions must be in different positions in the ratios.
B
Corresponding dimensions must be in the same position in the ratios.
C
The two ratios in the proportion are equal.
D
The enlargement or reduction is proportional to the original figure.
E
The scale factor will be different for each ratio.

Explanation

In a proportion, the two ratios are equal, so C is true. To compare corresponding dimensions correctly, put matching measures in the same positions in both ratios—for example, original over enlarged in each—so B is true. An enlargement or reduction keeps corresponding dimensions proportional, meaning they all use the same scale factor, so D is true. A reverses the matching positions, and E is false because the scale factor does not vary between ratios.
