Find the scale factor from the larger rectangle to the smaller rectangle, if the two rectangles are similar. example of Scale Factor Choices: A. 5:1 B. 5:6 C. 6:5 D. 6:7 Correct Answer: B Solution: Step 1: If we multiply the length of one side of the larger rectangle by the scale factor we get the length of the corresponding side of the smaller rectangle. Step 2: Dimension of larger rectangle × scale factor = dimension of smaller rectangle Step 3: 24 × scale factor = 20 [Substitute the values.] Step 4: Scale factor = 20/24 [Divide each side by 24.] Step 5: Scale factor =5/6= 5:6 [Simplify.] Therefore, scale factor from the larger rectangle to the smaller rectangle is 5:6.

everything*
but that wasn't even my question im in honors geo
oh i see its an example on the page nevermind
any examples with 3d figures
i say no to my question because to be similar it has to have the same scale factor for all the numbers and it doesnt you cant have a scale factor of 3 2 and 4

ok so am i wrong for my answer ??????
I dont have all day
@MathMusician
