if the figures below are similar, find the scale factor of figure b to figure a.
scale factor:
blank 1:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Find corresponding sides of Figure B and Figure A. For example, side 9 in B corresponds to 27 in A, 16 in B corresponds to 48 in A, 20 in B corresponds to 60 in A.

Step2: Calculate scale factor (B to A)

Scale factor is \(\frac{\text{Length in B}}{\text{Length in A}}\). Take one pair: \(\frac{9}{27} = \frac{1}{3}\), \(\frac{16}{48} = \frac{1}{3}\), \(\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{3}\)
