To find the scale factor used to produce figure 1 from figure 2, we can divide the length of a leg in figure 1 by the length of the corresponding leg in figure 2.

Length of leg in figure 1 = 2 units
Length of leg in figure 2 = 6 units

Scale factor = Length of leg in figure 1 / Length of leg in figure 2 = 2/6 = 1/3

Therefore, the scale factor used to produce figure 1 from figure 2 is 1/3.
