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?(1 point) Responses 11 11 2 2/3 2 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction 3/8 Start Fraction 3 over 8 End Fraction 2 1/3
The scale factor is calculated by dividing the new length by the original length. In this case, the new length is 8 centimeters and the original length is 3 centimeters.
Scale factor = new length / original length
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Scale factor ≈ 2.67
Therefore, the scale factor is approximately 2.67.
