To determine the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding side lengths of the original parallelogram and the scaled parallelogram. Looking at the image, we can see that the original side length of the shorter side of the parallelogram is 1 inch, and the corresponding side length of the scaled parallelogram is 0.7 inches.

To find the scale factor, we divide the corresponding side lengths:

Scale factor = (new side length) / (original side length)

= 0.7 inches / 1 inch

= 0.7

Therefore, the scale factor used is 0.7, which can also be written as 0.7/1 or 7/10.
