Question

The right triangle on the right is a scaled copy of the right triangle on the left. Identify the scale factor. Express your answer as a whole number or fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

One by third

Explanation:

According to the figure the right angle triangle that was on left would be 3 times bigger than the right triangle that was on right. So here the dimension of the right triangle is one by third and equivalent to the dimension of the left triangle

the one on the left is 3 times larger than the one on the right. in other words, the right triangle's dimensions times 1/3 is equal to the left triangle's dimensions.
