Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?

To determine the scale factor, we need to compare the measurements of the original parallelogram on the left with the measurements of the scaled parallelogram on the right. However, the question does not provide any measurement values for the sides of the parallelograms. Without this information, we cannot calculate the scale factor. Please provide the measurements of at least one side of each parallelogram for further assistance.
To determine the scale factor used to create the parallelogram on the right, we need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the two parallelograms.
Let's take a closer look at the side lengths of the parallelogram. We'll label them as follows:
- Left parallelogram: a (base) and b (height)
- Right parallelogram: ka (scaled base) and kb (scaled height)
To find the scale factor, k, we can use the formula:
k = scaled side length / original side length
In this case, we need to compare the base lengths (a and ka) or the height lengths (b and kb) to determine the scale factor.
Since the problem does not provide the measurements of the side lengths of either parallelogram, it is impossible to calculate the scale factor without that information.
Please provide the measurements of the side lengths of the parallelograms to determine the scale factor accurately.
