Question

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

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we need to compare the measurements of the original object to the measurements of the enlarged photo.

The original object has sides that measure 3 cm each.
The enlarged photo has sides that measure 8 cm each.

To find the scale factor, we can divide the measurements of the enlarged photo by the measurements of the original object:

Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm ≈ 2.6667

Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of approximately 2.6667 to create the photo from the original.
