The scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B is 7.5.

The scale factor can be found by comparing the corresponding side lengths of Figure A and Figure B.

In this case, if the length of one side of Figure A is 7.5 and the length of the corresponding side of Figure B is 7, we can set up the ratio as scale/actual = 7/7.5.

To find the scale factor, we can cross-multiply and solve for scale.

Multiplying 7 and 7.5 gives 52.5, so the scale factor is 52.5/7 = 7.5.

Therefore, the scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B is 7.5.

The probable question may be:

Figure B is a scale image of Figure A, as shown. What is the scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B?

The one of the side of figure A is 7.5 and one of the side of figure b is 7.
