Question

polygon k is a scaled copy of polygon i. what scale factor takes polygon i to polygon k?

Explanation:

Step1: Select corresponding sides

We can use the vertical - side lengths. Side length of polygon I is 6 and side length of polygon K is 8.4.

Step2: Calculate scale factor

The scale factor $s$ is found by dividing the length of the corresponding side in polygon K by the length of the corresponding side in polygon I. So $s=\frac{8.4}{6}$.
$s = 1.4$

Answer:

1.4
