Answer:
=2.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar plane figures, the ratio of corresponding sides is a constant.
This constant is the linear scale factor.
In the provided example, 1.2cm corresponds to 0.96 while 3.0 corresponds to x
Thus, 1.2 cm/0.96 cm=3.0 cm/x
x=(3.0 cm×0.96 cm)/1.2 cm
=2.4 cm.
