Question
Tess builds a sandbox in the shape of a regular hexagon in which all the sides are 40 inches long. She then takes a photo of the sandbox and prints the photo. In the photo, the sides of the hexagon are each 4 inches long. Identify the scale factor that was used to create the printed photo of the sandbox. Express your answer as a decimal.(1 point)

The scale factor can be determined by dividing the length of the sides in the photo (4 inches) by the actual length of the sides of the sandbox (40 inches).
Scale Factor = 4 inches / 40 inches = 0.1
Therefore, the scale factor that was used to create the printed photo of the sandbox is 0.1.
