Question

rectangle b is a scaled copy of rectangle a. what scale factor takes rectangle a to rectangle b?

Explanation:

Step1: Choose a side to find scale - factor

We can use either the length or the width. Let's use the length. The length of rectangle A is 12.6 and the length of rectangle B is 32.76.

Step2: Calculate the scale - factor

The scale factor $k$ is found by dividing the length of rectangle B by the length of rectangle A. So, $k=\frac{32.76}{12.6}$.
$k = 2.6$

Answer:

2.6
