The value of the scale factor k, is 1.5

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of the side lengths of the shape

<h3>Dimensions </h3>

The dimensions of the triangle MNO are given as:

$MN = 5$

$NO = 4$

$OM = 2.5$

Calculate the perimeter of the triangle as follows:

$MNO=5 + 4 +2.5$

$MNO=11.5$

Divide 17.25 by 11.5 to calculate the scale factor (k)

$k = \frac{17.25}{11.5}$

$k = 1.5$

Hence, the scale factor is 1.5
