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
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the side lengths before and after enlargement.
The original side length is 3 centimeters, and the enlarged side length is 8 centimeters.
So, the scale factor from the original to the enlarged photo is 8/3 = 2.6667 (rounded to four decimal places).
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 2.6667 to create the photograph from the original.
