Mehek (mehek14):
so you get what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4 and 7
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
The scale factor is the number by which you multiply a length of the original figure to get the corresponding length in the final figure.
You are given two corresponding lengths: 21 and 12.
21 was the original length, and 12 is the final corresponding length.
Call the scale factor s.
Then
21s = 12
Solve for s:
\(s = \dfrac{12}{21}\)
Now you need to reduce the fraction.

so \(\Large\dfrac{4}{7}\)
