Two rectangles are graphed on a coordinate plane, which number represents the scale used to enlarge Rectangle ABCD to Rectangle LMNO?

Answer choices
1/2
1 and 1/2
2
4

We would need to see the figures to answer that.

1/2

To determine the scale used to enlarge Rectangle ABCD to Rectangle LMNO, we can compare the corresponding sides of both rectangles.

First, let's find the lengths of the corresponding sides of the two rectangles:

Rectangle ABCD:
- The length of AB is 6 units.
- The length of AD is 4 units.

Rectangle LMNO:
- The length of LN is 12 units.
- The length of LM is 8 units.

To find the scale factor, we divide the lengths of the corresponding sides of the larger rectangle (LMNO) by the corresponding sides of the smaller rectangle (ABCD).

For the length:
- LN / AB = 12 / 6 = 2
- LM / AD = 8 / 4 = 2

Both ratios give us a scale factor of 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
