the sacale factor is 1/2 because the sides are cut in half
The perimeter of the model is the product of thescale factor and the perimeter of the original rectangle. Because the origigale perimeter is 6+6+2+2=16 , and if multiply by 1/2 the perimeter is 8, this number is right because 3+3+1+1=8
The area of the reduced figure is 1/4 times the area of the original figure. because the original area is 6x2=12 and multiply by 1/4 is 3, the number is right because 3x1=3
