Step 1:

The scale factor is a measure for similar figures, who look the same but have different scales or measures. Suppose, two circle looks similar but they could have varying radii. The scale factor states the scale by which a figure is bigger or smaller than the original figure.

Original length = 4 cm

Original width = 7 cm
