{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Here we go ~

Ratio of side of bigger rectangle to that to corresponding side of smaller rectangle (as they are similar) is :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (15)/(6)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2.5

So, the bigger rectangle is a scaled up version of the smaller version with a scale factor of 2.5

So, our required answer will be :

Enlargement with scale factor of 2.5
