answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el factor de escala usando la longitud

El factor de escala \( k \) se calcula dividiendo la longitud del rectángulo escalado entre la longitud del rectángulo original.
\( k=\frac{6}{5} \)

Step2: Verificar con la altura

Altura original: \( 4 \), altura escalada: \( \frac{15}{2} \)
\( k=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{4}=\frac{15}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{15}{8} \) (esto no es correcto, volvemos a la longitud)

Answer:

\( \frac{6}{5} \)
