DABC is twice the size of EFGH

loveboy:

Scale factor=formed figure scale/original figure scale In this example,let's choose the side DC and EH DC is of length 7-3=4 units whereas EH is of 3-1=2 units. Therefore,we conclude that figure shrinks ,therefore scale factor should be less than 1

loveboy:

now,let's figure out the scale factor using given formula scale factor=length of EH/length of DC

Comerpickles:

How do I do that?
