OKAY
OpenStudy (stbest):
do you have a guess on the answer
OpenStudy (stbest):
In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor. To find the scale factor, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the scale factor from one figure to the other.
OpenStudy (stbest):
so you have 2 similar sides which are 15 and 6 cm
OpenStudy (summerd613):
is it asking the dilation of the figure?
