[br][br][b]Answer the following questions in your notebook:[/b][br][br]1.  Slide the purple slider. How does the scale factor effect Δ ABC?  Be sure to examine what happens when k > 1 and when k is between 0 and 1.[br][br]2.  Slide k to 2 and find each ratio in simplest form:[br][br]A[sup]/[/sup]B[sup]/[/sup]: AB[br]B[sup]/[/sup]C[sup]/[/sup]: BC[br]A[sup]/[/sup]C[sup]/[/sup]: AC[br][br]What do you observe?[br][br]3.  Slide k to ½ and find each ratio in simplest form:[br][br]A[sup]/[/sup]B[sup]/[/sup]: AB[br]B[sup]/[/sup]C[sup]/[/sup]: BC[br]A[sup]/[/sup]C[sup]/[/sup]: AC[br][br]What do you observe?[br][br]4.  Based on your observations, make a conjecture about the relationship between the length of the image of a segment, the length of the pre-image of the segment, and the scale factor.[br][br][br]
