Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?

To determine the scale factor used by Kamla to create the second parallelogram from the first, you would typically compare the side lengths or the area of the corresponding shapes.

The scale factor can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Scale Factor} = \frac{\text{Length of side in the second parallelogram}}{\text{Length of corresponding side in the first parallelogram}} \]

You would need either the lengths of the sides or the areas of the parallelograms to calculate this. However, since the specifics of the measurements were not provided in your question, I can't calculate the exact scale factor.

If you know the side lengths or dimensions of both parallelograms, you can apply the above formula to find the scale factor from the options given: 3.5, 0.2, 4, or 5.

If you'd like to provide those measurements, I can help you find the exact scale factor!
