Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. he used a scale factor 1/4 to draw the new triangle. how does each side of the new triangle compare to the original?

The sides of the new triangle compared to the original are 4 times smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the corresponding side of new triangle

y----> the corresponding side of the original triangle

we have

substitute

therefore

The sides of the new triangle compared to the original are 4 times smaller.
