Answer:
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor of the two similar figures is given by the formula,
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Dimension of image}}{\text{Dimension of Original}}[/tex]
Here, it's given that smaller figure = image
And larger figure = Original
Therefore, scale factor = [tex]\frac{15}{25}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5\times 3}{5\times 5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Answer: Scale factor = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
