A diamond with a side length of 5.8. An arrow points to a smaller diamond with a side length of 1.45

Answer 1

0.25 hope this helps

Answer 2

The scale factor is 0.25.

Explanation:

We have two side lengths.

First figure: A diamond with a side length of 5.8

This is the object length.

Second figure: Then a smaller diamond with a side length of 1.45

This is the image length.

The scale factor is

`k = (image \: length)/(object \: length)`

`k = (1.45)/(5.8)`

`k = 0.25`
