Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the original rectangle to the enlarged rectangle.

Original rectangle:
Length = 9 in.
Width = 3 in.

Enlarged rectangle:
Length = 5.4 in.
Width = 5 in.

To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding lengths:

Scale factor = Length of the enlarged rectangle / Length of the original rectangle
= 5.4 in. / 9 in.
= 0.6

Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 0.6.

Answer 2

Wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again:

To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides of the original and enlarged rectangle.

Original rectangle:
Length = 9 in
Width = 3 in

Enlarged rectangle:
Length = 5.4 in
Width = 5 in

To find the scale factor for the length, we divide the length of the enlarged rectangle by the length of the original rectangle:

Scale factor for length = 5.4 in / 9 in ≈ 0.6

To find the scale factor for the width, we divide the width of the enlarged rectangle by the width of the original rectangle:

Scale factor for width = 5 in / 3 in ≈ 1.67

Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is approximately 0.6 for the length and approximately 1.67 for the width.
