Question

polygon s is a scaled copy of polygon r. what scale factor takes polygon r to polygon s?

Explanation:

Step1: Select corresponding sides

Choose a pair of corresponding sides, e.g., the 25 - side of polygon R and the 15 - side of polygon S.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

The scale factor $k$ from polygon R to polygon S is found by dividing the length of the side of polygon S by the length of the corresponding side of polygon R. So $k=\frac{15}{25}$.

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{15}{25}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6$.

Answer:

$0.6$
