Answer 1

Find the scale factor for the similar figures.

Answer 2

scale factor=Side of new figure/side of old figure

Answer 3

divide one side of new figure by corresponding side of old figure

Answer 4

Alexander is right again, simply divide the old factors by the new factors measurements.
Just like if something was 2x2 and you now have 8x8, divide 8 by 2 to get 4, so your scale factor would be 4.
