Answer:

scale factors :

1. 3:2

2. 5:6

3. 6

Explanation:

the scale factor between to similar triangles or parallelograms is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides :

1. Triangles case :

The Side of length 8 in the first triangle corresponds to the side of length 12 in the second triangle

therefore ,the scale factor = 12:8 which simplifies to 3:2.

2. parallelograms case :

The Side of length 30 in the first parallelogram corresponds to the side of length 25 in the second.

therefore ,the scale factor = 25:30 which simplifies to 5:6.

3. Triangles case :

First triangle Second triangle

3 → 18

4 → 24

5 → 30

Therefore,

The scale factor = 18:3 = 24:4 = 30:5 = 6
