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?
3/8
2 2/3
2 1/3
11
To find the scale factor, we can compare the original side length to the enlarged side length. The original side length is 3 centimeters, and the enlarged side length is 8 centimeters.
Scale factor = enlarged side length / original side length
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2 2/3
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 2 2/3 to create the photograph from the original.
