Answer: Observe the second image attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that each square of the grid has a side length of 1 unit.

Observe the sides of the figure "Copy" of the first image attached. You can notice that the sides [tex]AB',BC,'CD',DE',EF',FC'[/tex] have equal lenght:

You know that the scale factor from the original figure to its copy is [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]. This means that you must multiply the sides lengths of the Copy by [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] in order to find the sides lenghts of the Original figure.

Then, since [tex]AB'=BC'=CD'=DE'=EF'=FC'=3\ units[/tex], you get:

[tex](3\ units)(\frac{2}{3})=2\ units[/tex]

Therefore, the side lenghts of the original figure are:

[tex]AB=BC=CD=DE=EF=FC=2\ units[/tex]

Knowing this, you can draw the original figure (Observe the second image attached).
