Question

100 points What scale factor was applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor = ratio of the sides

Assuming the first rectangle is with shorter side 6,

Scale factor = 1.5/6 = 15/60 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer 2

Divide the new length by the original length:

The arrow points from 6 to 1.5, so the new length is 1.5 and the original length was 6.

1.5 / 6 = 0.25. The scale factor was 0.25
