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.
A
B
C
D

For a shape or figure to be considered a scaled copy of another, the length of all the segments of scaled copy must be equal to the length of all corresponding segments of the original figure multiplied by the same scale factor.

By examining the scaled copies B, C, and D, we would conclude that only D can be referred to as a scaled copy of D, because all the segments are exactly twice the corresponding segments of A. C and B do not have all its segment scaled in the same proportion.

Therefore, we cannot agree with Priya, nor Tyler. They are both wrong.
