Leo designs, a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon. Each side of the object measures 3 cm. Leo photographed the object, in larges, it says that the sides each measure 8 cm, and prints the photo. What scale factor did Leo used to create the photograph from the original.
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the length of one side of the original object with the corresponding side in the photograph.
In the original object, each side measures 3 cm. In the photograph, each side measures 8 cm.
Therefore, the scale factor is 8 cm / 3 cm = 2.67 (rounded to two decimal places).
So Leo used a scale factor of approximately 2.67 to create the photograph from the original object.
