Answer:

Explanation:

In similar polygons, corresponding sides are in same proportion


(GK)/(VR)=(KN)/(RP)\\\\\\(14.7)/(6.3)=(x+1)/(4x-3)\\\\\frac{0.7*10}0.3*10}=(x+1)/(4x-3)\\\\(7)/(3)=(x+1)/(4x-3)

Cross multiply

7*(4x-3)=3*(x+1)

28x - 21 = 3x + 3

28x - 3x - 21 = 3

25x = 3 + 21

25x = 24

x = 24/25

x = 0.96

Scale factor = 7 : 3
