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 2 2/3 2 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction 38 Start Fraction 3 over 8 End Fraction 2 1/3 2 Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction 11
To determine the scale factor, we divide the length of the enlarged sides by the length of the original sides.
Enlarged side length: 8 cm
Original side length: 3 cm
Scale factor = Enlarged side length / Original side length
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Scale factor = 2 2/3
Therefore, the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original is 2 2/3.
