Randee draws these two triangles with lengths given in centimeters. What scale factor does she use to create the copy on the right from the original on the left?

Reproduce the scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 2 centimeters. Which shows the correct new scale drawing?

A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 6 units long and 3 units wide, labeled with 6 and 3 respectively.

Scale: 1 box = 2 centimeters

To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding sides of the two triangles. Let's label the original triangle as triangle A and the copy as triangle B.

Looking at the sides of triangle A, we can see that the length of the short side is 1 centimeter and the length of the long side is 2 centimeters.

Now, let's compare these lengths to the corresponding sides of triangle B. From the given answer choices, the only option that matches the ratio of the corresponding sides is the answer "1/2" or "Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction".

Therefore, Randee used a scale factor of 1/2 to create the copy on the right from the original triangle on the left.
