An artist transferred a rectangular design 13cm long and 6cm wide to a similar canvas 260cm long and 120cm wide.what is the scale factor
1 cm on the original is 20 cm on the transfer

To determine the scale factor, you need to compare the corresponding lengths of the two rectangles.
The original rectangle has lengths of 13cm and 6cm, while the new rectangle has lengths of 260cm and 120cm.
To find the scale factor, divide the corresponding lengths:
Length scale factor = (new length) / (original length)
In this case, the length scale factor = 260cm / 13cm = 20
To find the width scale factor, divide the corresponding widths:
Width scale factor = (new width) / (original width)
Width scale factor = 120cm / 6cm = 20
Since both the length scale factor and the width scale factor are the same (20), we can conclude that the scale factor is 20:1. This means that the new rectangle is 20 times larger than the original rectangle.
