The figure on the right is a scale drawing of the figure on the left. What is the scale factor?

In order to find the scale factor, we just need to divide one side of the right figure by the corresponding side in the left figure.
So, taking the sides SU and PR, we have:
[tex]\text{scale}=\frac{SU}{PR}=\frac{12}{8}=1.5[/tex]So the scale factor is 1.5.
