Answer:

The images of the question are missing, I found a matching question and image online, and it is in the attachments.

Answer:

The scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2

or

The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2

Explanation:

From the image, the right triangle on the left has the following dimensions:

Hypotenuse = 10

length of one side = 10

While the right triangle on the right has the following:

Hypotenuse = 20

Length of one side = 20

From the dimensions above it can be seen that the triangle on the right has a dimension of 2 times the triangle on the left:

Left (10) × 2 = right (20)

Therefore the scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2

or

The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2

The right triangle on the right is a scaled copy of the right triangle on the left-example-1
