Answer:

The scale factor is 1/2

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the scale factor

Since one of the triangles was dilated to give the other, it means both are similar triangles

Mathematically, when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that the scale factor is 3/6 = 1/2

This is because it is the larger triangle that was dilated to give the smaller
