To find the scale factor, you need to compare the corresponding lengths or measurements of two similar figures.

1. Measure the lengths of corresponding sides of each figure. For example, if one figure has a side length of 4 cm and the corresponding side on the other figure is 8 cm, you would divide the 8 cm by the 4 cm to find the scale factor.

2. Calculate the scale factor by dividing the length of the corresponding sides of the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side of the smaller figure. This will give you a single number that represents the ratio of enlargement or reduction between the two figures.

3. The scale factor can be a whole number, fraction, or decimal. Make sure to label it as such, depending on the context of the problem.

4. Remember that the scale factor is the same for all corresponding lengths in the figures.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

To find the number of feet in 6 inches using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet, you can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown:

1 inch = 2.25 feet

6 inches = x feet

Cross multiply to solve for x:

1 * x = 6 * 2.25

x = 13.5 feet

So, 6 inches is equal to 13.5 feet using the given scale factor of 1 inch = 2.25 feet.
