Answer:
The scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2
or
The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image, the right triangle on the left has the following dimensions:
Hypotenuse = 10
length of one side = 10
While the right triangle on the right has the following:
Hypotenuse = 20
Length of one side = 20
From the dimensions above it can be seen that the triangle on the right has a dimension of 2 times the triangle on the left:
Left (10) × 2 = right (20)
Therefore the scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2
or
The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2
