Answer:

Explanation:

The scale factor, or linear scale factor, is the ratio of two corresponding side lengths of similar figures. Similar figures have the same shape but are different sizes. The scale factor is used to solve geometric problems. You can use the scale factor to find the missing side lengths of a figure.
