Question

Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon each side of the object measures 3 cm Leo photographs the object enlarges it so that the sides each measure 8 cm and prints the photo what scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original

Answer 1

To determine the scale factor, you can divide the length of the corresponding sides in the photograph (8 cm) by the length of the corresponding sides in the original piece of jewelry (3 cm):

Scale factor = Length in Photograph / Length in Original = 8 cm / 3 cm ≈ 2.67

Therefore, the scale factor Leo used to create the photograph from the original is approximately 2.67.
