To find the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original, we need to compare the measurements of a side in the original object with the measurements in the printed photo.
Given that each side of the original pentagon measures 3 cm and the corresponding side in the printed photo measures 8 cm, we can calculate the scale factor by dividing the printed measurement by the original measurement.
Scale factor = Printed measurement / Original measurement
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Scale factor ≈ 2.67
Therefore, the scale factor Leo used to create the photograph from the original is approximately 2 2/3.
