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 side each measures 8 centimeters and prints the photo what scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original
A. 2 1/3
B. 3/8
C. 2 2/3
D. 11
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the lengths of the corresponding sides in the original object and the photograph.
In the original object, each side measures 3 centimeters.
In the photograph, each side measures 8 centimeters.
To find the scale factor, we divide the length in the photograph by the length in the original:
8 centimeters / 3 centimeters = 2 2/3
Therefore, the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original is C. 2 2/3.
