sorry my computer was updating

@Lindsay_552 are you there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we multiply the length of one side by the scale factor we get the length of the corresponding side of the smaller figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So let's say the figure is a rectangle .. |dw:1401075436331:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dimension of larger rectangle × scale factor = dimension of smaller rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So ... 8 x scale factor = 2 scale factor = 2/8 simplify 2/8 = 1/4 which is the answer : )
