The equation s = (1/6)f represents the proportional relationship between the side lengths of the original figure and the scaled copy. The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side lengths in the original figure and the scaled copy.
From the equation, we can see that the scale factor is 1/6.
A four-sided figure is resized to create a scaled copy. The proportional relationship between any given side length in the original figure, f, and the corresponding side length in the scaled copy, s, can be represented by the equation s, equals, one sixth, fs=
