1 answer

To find the scale factor, we can use the formula:

Scale factor = (new size) / (original size)

Here, the new size of the sides in the photograph is 8 cm, and the original size of the sides is 3 cm.

Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Scale factor ≈ 2.6667

Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of approximately 2.6667 to create the photograph from the original jewelry shape.
