Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are two rectangles MNOL and IJKH
MNOL is the image and IJKH is the preimage.
OBviously similarity is preserved between these.
Hence sides will be proportional
i.e. l1/l2 = w1/w2 = Scale factor k
This can also be written as
Scale factor square = [tex]k^2=\sqrt{ \frac{areaI}{area2} }[/tex]
Scale factor = square root of ratio of rectangle areas
Find ratio as
[tex]\frac{375}{135} =\frac{25}{9}[/tex]
k = Scale factor = square root of the above fraction
=[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
