Respuesta :

this would make it an enlargement

Answer:

Part A) The scale factor is equal to [tex]8[/tex]

Part B) Is an enlargement

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

[tex]z=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

we have

[tex]x=2.4\ units[/tex]

[tex]y=0.3\ units[/tex]

substitute

[tex]z=\frac{2.4}{0.3}=8[/tex]

Remember that

If the scale factor is greater than one------> is an enlargement

If the scale factor is less than one------> is a reduction

In this problem

[tex]8> 1[/tex] -------> is an enlargement
