Answer 1

Answer:

The scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

To find out the scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle. set up a proportion

$\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}$ ----> ratio of corresponding heights

or

$\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}$ ----> ratio of corresponding bases

therefore

The scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 3/2
