Question

Please answer correctly! See attached image bellow.

Answer 1

Scale factor = 2.5

Solution:

Length of the smaller rectangle = 3 units

Length of the larger rectangle = 7.5 units

To find the scale factor:

`$\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Larger length}}{\text{Smaller length}}`

`$\text{Scale factor}=(7.5)/(3)`

`$\text{Scale factor}=2.5`

Hence 2.5 is the scale factor applied to the first rectangle to the resulting image.
