To find the scale factor, we need to compare the measurements of the two parallelograms.
The width of the left parallelogram is 5 inches, and the width of the right parallelogram is 1 inch.
Therefore, the scale factor for the width is 1/5 = 0.2.
Similarly, the height of the left parallelogram is 3.5 inches, and the height of the right parallelogram is 0.7 inches.
So, the scale factor for the height is also 0.2.
Since the scale factor is the same for both dimensions, the answer is 0.2.
Bot use the image to answer the question. image of a parallelogram on the left side that measures 5 in. in width and 3.5 in. in height. image of a parallelogram on the right side that measures 1 in. in width and 0.7 in. in height. 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? Pick one of the following answers. 5 4 3.5 0.2
