To find the scale factor, we need to compare the lengths of the hypotenuses of the two triangles.
Scale factor = new hypotenuse length / original hypotenuse length
Scale factor = 2.7 / 6 = 0.45
Therefore, the scale factor is 0.45.
The hypotenus of a triangle was 6 cm and the hypotenus of the final triangle was 2.7 cm what is the scale factor
