Answer:
The scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In this problem
To find out the scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle. set up a proportion
----> ratio of corresponding heights
or
----> ratio of corresponding bases
therefore
The scale factor of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 3/2
