To find the scale factor, we simply divide the length of the enlarged side by the length of the original side.

In this case, the length of the enlarged side is 8 centimeters and the length of the original side is 3 centimeters.

So the scale factor is 8/3.

Answer 3

Bot GPT 3.5 answered

Apologies for the mistake.

To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the enlarged side by the length of the original side:

Scale factor = Enlarged side length / Original side length

In this case, the length of the enlarged side is 8 centimeters and the length of the original side is 3 centimeters:

Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm = 2.67

Therefore, the scale factor Leo used to create the photograph is 2.67.
