Chapter 14.5, Problem 3P

Tyler’s Flag Problem: Tyler has designed his own flag on a rectangle that is 3 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Now he wants to draw a larger version of his flag on a rectangle that is 9 inches tall. How wide should Tyler make his larger flag? Solve this problem in two ways: with the scale factor method and with the internal factor method. In each case:

Explain clearly the idea and the reasoning of that method.

Link the method to a proportion.
