Answer:
True
Explanation:
If there are 2 similar geometric figure the ratio of the corresponding side length is regarded as the scale factor. For example if you have 2 similar figure like a square. And you detect 2 corresponding sides of the figures , one having a length of 2 cm and the other a length of 4 cm. The ratio of this 2 corresponding side is the scale factor . The scale factor can be express as 1:2. or the scale factor can be represented as a fraction as 1/2.
In a more simple term the scale factor is the ratio of 2 corresponding side of similar figures. Note the figures must be similar . The scale factor can be use to find the side length of a figure and also one can use the side length of the figures to find the scale factor.
