To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the two parallelograms.
In the left parallelogram, the longer side measures 5 inches. And in the right parallelogram, the longer side measures 1 inch.
Therefore, the scale factor for the longer side is 1/5.
Similarly, in the left parallelogram, the shorter side measures 3.5 inches. And in the right parallelogram, the shorter side measures 0.7 inches.
Hence, the scale factor for the shorter side is 0.7/3.5 = 1/5.
Since both scale factors are equal, we can conclude that Kamla uses a scale factor of 1/5 to create the parallelogram on the right.
Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left which is 5 in by three and a half inches and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right which is 1 inch by 0.7 inches all measurements are in inches what scale factor does he use
