What is the scale factor the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle?

Question

Small rectangle is 4 units by 3 units and large rectangle is 8 units by 6 units.

2 units
6 units
18 units
48 units

Answer 1

2 units

Answer 2

Are you sure

Answer 3

Yes, I'm sure. The scale factor from the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is determined by comparing the corresponding sides.

For the small rectangle:
Length = 4 units
Width = 3 units

For the large rectangle:
Length = 8 units
Width = 6 units

To find the scale factor from the small rectangle to the large rectangle, we divide the length of the large rectangle by the length of the small rectangle:
Scale Factor for Length = 8 units / 4 units = 2

Similarly, for the width, we divide the width of the large rectangle by the width of the small rectangle:
Scale Factor for Width = 6 units / 3 units = 2

Since both the length and width scale factors are the same, the overall scale factor from the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 2 units.
