1. The problem asks to find the scale factor of the enlargement from shape A to shape B.
2. The scale factor is the ratio of any corresponding lengths in shape B to shape A.
3. For the first pair of triangles:
- Triangle A base = 2 units, height = 4 units
- Triangle B base = 6 units, height = 12 units
4. Calculate scale factor using base lengths:
$$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$$
5. Calculate scale factor using height lengths:
$$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$$
6. Both calculations agree, so the scale factor for the triangles is 3.
7. For the second pair of L-shapes:
- Shape A height = 3 units, width = 2 units
- Shape B height = 6 units, width = 4 units
8. Calculate scale factor using height:
$$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$$
9. Calculate scale factor using width:
$$\text{Scale factor} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$$
10. Both calculations agree, so the scale factor for the L-shapes is 2.
Final answers:
- Scale factor from triangle A to B is 3.
- Scale factor from L-shape A to B is 2.
