* Urgent * Worth 50 points and brainliest!Consider the original parallelogram and its reduction. What is the scale factor? One-sixth One-third 3 6

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, original parallelogram(in red) has been reduced by a scale factor 'k' forming a new parallelogram (in blue).

We know scale factor is the ratio of one side of the image (dilated figure) and the corresponding side of the original figure,

Scale factor =

                 k =

                 k =

Therefore, scale factor will be .

Option (1) will be the answer.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
