The side in the figure on the right that corresponds to segment C, DCD is side VY.

In order to find the scale factor, we can look at the corresponding sides. Side AB in the left figure corresponds to side WX in the right figure. The length of AB is 3 units and the length of WX is 2 units. Therefore, the scale factor would be 3/2 or 1.5.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides. Side AB in the left figure corresponds to side WX in the right figure. The length of AB is 6 units and the length of WX is 4 units. Therefore, the scale factor would be 6/4 or 1.5.

So, the correct scale factor is 1.5.
