Question

pentagon h is a scaled copy of pentagon g. pentagon g pentagon h what scale factor takes pentagon g to pentagon h?

Explanation:

Step1: Select corresponding sides

We can choose the side of length 12.8 in pentagon G and the side of length 16 in pentagon H.

Step2: Calculate scale - factor

The scale factor $k$ from pentagon G to pentagon H is found by the ratio of the corresponding side lengths of pentagon H to pentagon G. So $k=\frac{16}{12.8}$.
$k = 1.25$

Answer:

$1.25$
