Answer 1

The scale factor is the number that relates the dimensions of the two rectangles. To find it we need to divide the length of the larger rectangle by the length of the smaller one, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{factor}=(28)/(7) \\ \text{factor}=4 \end{gathered}`

The scale factor of this rectangle is 4.
