GPT 3.5
The length of each side of the regular hexagon sandbox is 40 inches.
In the printed photo, the length of each side of the hexagon appears to be 4 inches.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of a side in the printed photo by the actual length of the corresponding side in the sandbox.
Scale factor = (Length in printed photo) / (Length in actual sandbox)
Scale factor = 4 inches / 40 inches
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Scale factor = 1/10
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the printed photo of the sandbox is 0.1.
