One of the easiest question I've seen.
It's a scale factor of 5 because,
5*5=25
5*3=15
5*4=20
Hope this helps!

Answer:

C. 5

Explanation:

We have been given an image of two triangles. We are asked to find the scale factor of ABC to UVW.

To find the scale factor of our given triangles, we will divide one side of triangle UVW by its corresponding side of triangle ABC.


\text{Original side}*\text{Scale factor}=\text{New side}


5*\text{Scale factor}=25

Upon dividing both sides of equation by 5, we will get:


\frac{5*\text{Scale factor}}{5}=(25)/(5)


\text{Scale factor}=5

Therefore, the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle UVW is 5 and option C is the correct choice.
