Question

can someone explain scale factor?

Answer 1

scale factor is just a real number multiplier. if something is scaled by 3, that means all of its dimensions are multiplied by 3. if something is scaled by 1/3, that means all of its dimensions are multiplied by 1/3. if something is scaled by -3, that means its dimension is scaled by 3, and is in the opposite direction., etc., etc.
