To determine the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image, we need to compare the lengths of one side of the original rectangle to the corresponding side of the enlarged rectangle.
In the original rectangle, it has a length of 3 inches.
In the enlarged rectangle, it has a length of 6 inches.
To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of the enlarged rectangle by the length of the original rectangle:
Scale factor = length of enlarged rectangle / length of original rectangle
Scale factor = 6 inches / 3 inches
Scale factor = 2
Therefore, the scale factor used to enlarge the rectangle in the image is 2.
