Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regulator 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)
To find the scale factor, we compare the change in length of the sides.
The original length of the sides is 3 centimeters.
The enlarged length of the sides is 8 centimeters.
To find the scale factor, we divide the enlarged length by the original length:
Scale factor = Enlarged length / Original length = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2.667
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of 2.667 to create the photograph from the original.
