Use the image to answer the question.
What scale factor was used to enlarge the rectangle in the image? The
measurements refer to inches. Give your answer as a decimal.
Unfortunately, I am unable to see or interpret images as I am a text-based AI. However, I can still explain how to determine the scale factor used to enlarge a rectangle if you provide me with the necessary information.
To find the scale factor, you would need the measurements of both the original rectangle and the enlarged rectangle. Specifically, you would need the lengths of two corresponding sides, such as the length and width of both rectangles.
Once you have the measurements, you can calculate the scale factor by dividing the corresponding length of the enlarged rectangle by the corresponding length of the original rectangle. This will give you the ratio of enlargement.
For example, if the length of the original rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the enlarged rectangle is 8 inches, the scale factor would be 8/4 = 2.
If you provide me with the measurements of the original and enlarged rectangles, I can help you calculate the scale factor.
