The scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 2.25.
To determine the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image, we need to compare the measurements of the original rectangle to the measurements of the enlarged rectangle.
Looking at the image, we can see that the original rectangle has a length of 2 inches and a width of 3 inches. The enlarged rectangle has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding dimensions of the enlarged rectangle by the corresponding dimensions of the original rectangle.
Scale factor = (length of enlarged rectangle / length of original rectangle) = 4 / 2 = 2
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 2.
