Question

the polygons in each pair are similar. find the scale factor of the smaller figure to larger figure.​

Answer 1

Scale factor =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

From the picture given in the question,

If the larger figure is dilated to form the smaller figure,

Scale factor by which a figure is dilated with is determined by the expression,

Scale factor =
`\frac{\text{Measure of one side of the smaller figure}}{\text{Measure of the corresponding side of the larger figure}}`

=
`(3)/(6)`

=
`(1)/(2)`
