Answer 6

So, I'll give you a similar problem and how to do it. And you try this problem after that. So that way you learn. :)

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

the scale factor is the ratio of the second shape to the first shape

first shape has a side length of 21
second shape has the same side, with length 12

ratio is
12:21

simplify it to get your scale factor

Answer 9

4:7

Answer 10

If out two figures are:



Then the scale factor is10/5 = 1/5

Since we started with the bigger figure, we have that in the denominator. And we end with the smaller figure, we have that in the numerator. And then we just simplified it to 1/5.

Answer 11

ok
