Answer:
Scale factor to transform rectangle A into rectangle B is .
Explanation:
If both rectangles are similar, then scale factor for width () and height (), no unit, must be the same. That is:
(1)
Where:
- Widths of rectangles A and B, no unit.
- Heights of rectangles A and B, no unit.
Let suppose that width is parallel to x-axis, whereas height is to y-axis. If we know that , , and , then we have the following result:
Which algraically consistent and hence we conclude that scale factor to transform rectangle A into rectangle B is .
