Suppose Tommy walks from his home at (0, 0) to the mall at (0, 9), and then walks to a movie theater at (5, 9). After leaving the theater Tommy walks to the store at (5, 0) before returning home. If each grid square represents one block, how many blocks does he walk? Tommy walks how many blocks?

(23*2)-12=x     x=34

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

1. perpendicular

2. parallel

3. perpendicular
