Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the enlarged sides by the length of the original sides.

Length of enlarged sides: 8 cm
Length of original sides: 3 cm

Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So, the scale factor Leo used to create the photograph from the original is 2.
