Answer:

No

Explanation:

In order to find if they are scale copies we need to check if the ratio betwenn the two lengths and between the two widths are equal.

The ratio of the lengths is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5

The ratio of the widths is 8 : 8 = 1: 1

Since th ratio are different then the are not scale copies.
