* Urgent * Worth 50 points and brainliest!Consider the original parallelogram and its reduction. What is the scale factor? One-sixth One-third 3 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, original parallelogram(in red) has been reduced by a scale factor 'k' forming a new parallelogram (in blue).

We know scale factor is the ratio of one side of the image (dilated figure) and the corresponding side of the original figure,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Side of the dilated image(small)}}{\text{Side of the original(Large)}}$

                 k = $\frac{3}{18}$

                 k = $\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, scale factor will be $\frac{1}{6}$.

Option (1) will be the answer.
