Answer:

The scale factor is 3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the side PQ.

The original length was 8 units.

And the new length is 12 units.

Let the scale factor be k. Therefore:

[tex]8k=12[/tex]

By dividing both sides by 8, we can see that our scale factor from ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' is:

[tex]\displaystyle k=\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
