Answer: While I don’t have the picture to actually know the answer I will explain how to get it.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If the shapes are on a grid count the amount of grid squares that are located between each end point of the shape. If it’s not on a grid use a ruler to measure the side lengths. You will need to find out the side amounts for both shapes L and S.
2. From there if the L shape is SMALLER than the S shape, then take the S shape’s sides and divide it by the L shape’s sides, and whatever number you get from each of your division problems will be your scale factor. BUT If the L shape is BIGGER than the S shape then easiest way to find out your scale factor is to take the last scale factor you got and convert it into a fraction. For example, if you got 3 then it would be 1/3. Hope this helped!
