answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el factor de escala

El factor de escala se calcula dividiendo la longitud del lado correspondiente del triángulo escalado entre la longitud del lado correspondiente del triángulo original.
Tomemos los lados verticales: $\frac{15}{5}$

Step2: Simplificar la fracción

$\frac{15}{5}=3$
También podemos comprobar con los lados horizontales: $\frac{36}{12}=3$

Answer:

$3$
