To find the scale factor, we need to divide the length of the enlarged object by the length of the original object.
The original object has sides measuring 3 centimeters each.
The enlarged object has sides measuring 8 centimeters each.
So, the scale factor is 8/3.
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 8/3 to create the photograph from the original object.
