Ascale factor of (a. 0.125 or b. 8) was applied to the first triangle to the get the resulting image. this scale factor is an enlargement? or a reduction?

Part A) The scale factor is equal to

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

we have

substitute

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

-------> is an enlargement

well 6 3/4 is 6.75 as a decimal and 3 6/7 as a decimal is 3.85 and so 6.75 divided by 2 is 3.37 so she got a little past halfway but if you divide them bothe then you get 1.75 and that as a fraction is 3/4 not sure this is correct but maybe hopefully
