Answer:
As, given
[tex]\frac{\text{Area of Model of a triangular piece of jewelry}}{\text{Actual Area of triangular Jewellery}}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
As, Pre image = Triangular piece of Jewellery
Image=Model of triangular piece of jewellery
Preimage is dilated by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], to get the image.
Dilation factor< 1
So,it means sides of original triangle that is actual piece of Jewellery, has also been dilated by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] to get the model of jewellery.
So, [tex]\frac{\text{Sides of Triangle of modelled jewellery}}{\text{sides of triangle of Actual jewellery }}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
