step by step bot is right!!! 1.8!!!
its 1.8 my dudes
its 1.8
To find the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle, we need to compare the corresponding lengths of the original and enlarged rectangle.
The original length of the rectangle measures 9 inches, while the corresponding length in the enlarged rectangle measures 3 inches. Therefore, the scale factor for the length is:
Scale factor = 3 inches / 9 inches
Scale factor = 1/3
Similarly, we compare the widths of both rectangles:
Original width: 5 inches
Enlarged width: 5.4 inches
Scale factor = 5.4 inches / 5 inches
Scale factor ≈ 1.08
The scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle is approximately 1/3 for the length and 1.08 for the width.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again:
To find the scale factor, we can compare the corresponding sides of the original and enlarged rectangle.
Original rectangle:
Length = 9 in
Width = 3 in
Enlarged rectangle:
Length = 5.4 in
Width = 5 in
To find the scale factor for the length, we divide the length of the enlarged rectangle by the length of the original rectangle:
Scale factor for length = 5.4 in / 9 in ≈ 0.6
To find the scale factor for the width, we divide the width of the enlarged rectangle by the width of the original rectangle:
Scale factor for width = 5 in / 3 in ≈ 1.67
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is approximately 0.6 for the length and approximately 1.67 for the width.

To determine the scale factor that was used to enlarge the rectangle in the image, we need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the original rectangle and the enlarged rectangle.
Let's compare the length of one side of the original rectangle (9 inches) with the corresponding length of the enlarged rectangle (3 inches). To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding sides of the rectangles.
9 inches ÷ 3 inches = 3
Next, let's compare the width of the original rectangle (5 inches) with the corresponding width of the enlarged rectangle (5.4 inches). Again, we can divide the corresponding sides to find the scale factor.
5 inches ÷ 5.4 inches ≈ 0.9259
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is approximately 3 for the length and approximately 0.9259 for the width.
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the original rectangle to the enlarged rectangle.
Original rectangle:
Length = 9 in.
Width = 3 in.
Enlarged rectangle:
Length = 5.4 in.
Width = 5 in.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding lengths:
Scale factor = Length of the enlarged rectangle / Length of the original rectangle
= 5.4 in. / 9 in.
= 0.6
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 0.6.
