What is the scale factor used when going from the larger rectangle to the smaller one?

To determine the scale factor when going from a larger rectangle to a smaller rectangle, you need to know the dimensions (length and width) of both rectangles. The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the dimensions of the smaller rectangle by the dimensions of the larger rectangle.

For example, if the larger rectangle has a length of \( L_1 \) and a width of \( W_1 \), and the smaller rectangle has a length of \( L_2 \) and a width of \( W_2 \), the scale factor \( k \) can be calculated as:

\[ k = \frac{L_2}{L_1} = \frac{W_2}{W_1} \]

Make sure that the scale factor calculated is consistent for both dimensions (length and width).

If you provide the specific dimensions of the larger and smaller rectangles, I can help you calculate the exact scale factor.
