the scale factor is what u multiply the first image by to get the second image. So by dividing the second image by the first image will give u the scale factor.

6 / 1.5 = 4....so there is a scale factor of 4 because 1.5 * 4 = 6

Answer:

The scale factor is equal to \(4\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the corresponding side of the resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle

Let

z----> the scale factor

x------> the corresponding side of the resulting triangle

y-----> the corresponding side of the first triangle

so

\(z=\frac{x}{y}\)

we have

\(x=6\ units\)

\(y=1.5\ units\)

substitute

\(z=\frac{6}{1.5}=4\)

\(4 > 1\) -------> is an enlargement
