The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure. Example: Here, XYUV=123=4 . So, the scale factor is 4
A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor for volume of one half. The basic equation for it is image over preimage.
branliest please also be sure to comment and i'll help with everything again <u><em>the scale factor of the attachment given is 4</em></u>
you just simplify it by doing the square number to the bracket and then multiply everything in the bracket by the number outside the bracket (this example 2)
