What scale factor was used to enlarge the rectangle in the image? The measurements refer to inches. Give your answer as a decimal.
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. However, since no measurements or image are provided, it is not possible to determine the scale factor.
To determine the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in an image, we need to compare the measurements of the original and enlarged rectangles. Unfortunately, since there is no image provided or measurements mentioned, it is not possible to determine the scale factor. Please provide additional information or clarify your question.
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.
If you have access to the original and enlarged rectangle, you can directly compare the lengths or widths of the two rectangles. Divide the length (or width) of the enlarged rectangle by the length (or width) of the original rectangle. The resulting ratio will give you the scale factor.
For example, let's say the original rectangle has a length of 4 inches and a width of 2 inches. And the enlarged rectangle has a length of 8 inches and a width of 4 inches.
To find the scale factor for the length, divide the length of the enlarged rectangle (8 inches) by the length of the original rectangle (4 inches):
Scale factor = Length of enlarged rectangle / Length of original rectangle = 8 inches / 4 inches = 2.
Similarly, to find the scale factor for the width, divide the width of the enlarged rectangle (4 inches) by the width of the original rectangle (2 inches):
Scale factor = Width of enlarged rectangle / Width of original rectangle = 4 inches / 2 inches = 2.
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 2, which is the same for both the length and width.
If you provide me with the specific measurements of the original and enlarged rectangles, I can calculate the scale factor for you.
