Answer:

The scale of the smaller figure to the larger figure is;


5\colon6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangles in the attached image;

We want to find the ratio/scale of the smaller figure to the larger figure;

Using the corresponding sides of the smaller to the larger.


\begin{gathered} 15\colon18 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3;} \\ (15)/(3)\colon(18)/(3) \\ 5\colon6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the scale of the smaller figure to the larger figure is;


5\colon6
