What scale factor was applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image?
Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
A rectangle with a short side of 6. An arrow points to a smaller rectangle with a short side of 1.5
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the length of the short side of the resulting image (1.5) by the length of the short side of the original rectangle (6).
Scale factor = 1.5 / 6 = 0.25
Therefore, the scale factor applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image is 0.25
