Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon. Each side of the object measures 3 centimeters. Leo photographs the object, enlarges it so that the sides each measure 8 centimeters, and prints the photo. What scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original?(1 point)

To find the scale factor, divide the length of the photograph (8 centimeters) by the length of the original object (3 centimeters):
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2 2/3 or 2.67
Therefore, the correct answer is 2 2/3 or 2.67
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the enlarged side by the length of the original side:
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2 2/3
So, the scale factor used by Leo to create the photograph from the original is 2 2/3.
To determine the scale factor, you need to find the ratio of the length of the sides in the photograph to the length of the sides in the original object.
In this case, the length of each side in the photograph is 8 centimeters, and the length of each side in the original object is 3 centimeters.
So, the scale factor can be calculated as:
Scale Factor = (Length of Sides in Photograph) / (Length of Sides in Original Object)
Scale Factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Scale Factor = 2 2/3
Therefore, the scale factor Leo used to create the photograph from the original is 2 and 2/3 or 2 2/3. So, the correct response is:
