The scale factor for the diagram given is 3.

Using the parameters given;

  • B to B' = 6
  • A to A' = 2

The scale factor can be expressed as ;

  • B to B' / A to A'

Inputting the values given;

6/2

= 3

Therefore, the scale factor is 3

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

BB' = 6

B'A = 2

Step 02:

scale factor:


\frac{BB^(\prime)}{B\text{'A}}{}=(6)/(2)=3

The answer is:

scale factor = 3
