Which side in the figure on the right corresponds to segment S, QSQ?
What is the scale factor?
Based on the arrangement of the letters in the two figures, it can be seen that side SQ in the figure on the left corresponds to side HI in the figure on the right.
Therefore, the scale factor can be calculated by comparing the lengths of segment SQ and segment HI.
Let's denote the length of segment SQ as x and the length of segment HI as y.
Upon examination, it can be seen that segment HI is twice the length of segment SQ.
Therefore, the scale factor is 2:1.
