To determine the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding measurements of the two parallelograms.
In the original parallelogram on the left:
- The length of the horizontal side (base) is 1 inch.
- The length of the diagonal side is 3.5 inches.
In the scaled parallelogram on the right, the corresponding measurements will be proportional to the original parallelogram:
- Let's assume the scale factor is "x".
- The length of the horizontal side (base) in the scaled parallelogram will be 1 inch * x.
- The length of the diagonal side in the scaled parallelogram will be 3.5 inches * x.
According to the given measurements:
1 inch * x = 0.7 inches.
Solving for "x":
x = 0.7 inches / 1 inch
x = 0.7
Therefore, Kamla uses a scale factor of 0.7 to create the parallelogram on the right.

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?
