Question

I need help with finding the scale factor

Answer 1

`\sf\\Scale\ factor = (dimension\ of\ new\ shape)/(dimension\ of\ original\ shape)=(HF)/(SQ)=(3)/(1)=3`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\textsf{We take the corresponding sides of the figures while finding the scale factor.}`

`\textsf{Here, for example, SQ and HS, SR and HI, RP and IG and PQ and FG are}\\\textsf{corresponding sides of the shapes.}`

`\textsf{Scale factor does not have any unit because it is the ratio of two lengths.}`
