Without any specific measurements provided, it is not possible to determine the scale factor.
the one on the left is 5 inch by 3.5 inch on the right is 1 inch by 0.7 inch
To find the scale factor, we can simply divide the corresponding dimensions of the parallelogram on the right (1 inch by 0.7 inch) by the corresponding dimensions of the parallelogram on the left (5 inch by 3.5 inch).
The scale factor for length is 1 inch ÷ 5 inches = 0.2
The scale factor for width is 0.7 inch ÷ 3.5 inches = 0.2
Therefore, the scale factor used is 0.2.
The scale factor for length is 1 inch ÷ 5 inches = 0.2
The scale factor for width is 0.7 inch ÷ 3.5 inches = 0.2
Therefore, the scale factor used is 0.2.
