Question

quadrilateral l is a scaled copy of quadrilateral k. quadrilateral k quadrilateral l what scale factor takes quadrilateral k to quadrilateral l?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The scale factor from one similar figure to another is the ratio of corresponding side lengths.

Step2: Select a pair of corresponding sides

Let's take the side of length 18 in quadrilateral K and the corresponding side of length 21 in quadrilateral L.

Step3: Calculate the scale factor

The scale factor $s$ is given by the ratio of the side - length of the scaled figure (L) to the side - length of the original figure (K). So, $s=\frac{21}{18}=\frac{7}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{7}{6}$
