To determine the scale factor used in the dilation of the larger rectangle to the similar smaller rectangle, we can compare the corresponding sides of the two rectangles.

Let's say the corresponding side lengths of the larger rectangle to the smaller rectangle are:
- Larger rectangle: Length = L, Width = W
- Smaller rectangle: Length = L/2, Width = W/2

To find the scale factor, we can take the ratio of the length of the larger rectangle to the corresponding length of the smaller rectangle:

Scale Factor = (Length of Larger Rectangle) / (Length of Smaller Rectangle)
Scale Factor = L / (L/2) = 2

Therefore, the scale factor used in the dilation of the larger rectangle to the similar smaller rectangle is 2.
