quadrilateral r is a scaled copy of quadrilateral q.
what scale factor takes quadrilateral q to quadrilateral r?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Corresponding sides are \(14\) (in \(Q\)) and \(42\) (in \(R\)).

Step2: Calculate scale factor

Scale factor \(=\frac{\text{Length in }R}{\text{Length in }Q}\). So, scale factor \(=\frac{42}{14}\).

$$ \frac{42}{14}=3 $$

Answer:

\(3\)
