which side in the figure o
what is the scale factor?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In similar figures, corresponding sides are in proportion. By observing the shape and orientation of the two polygons, we can match the sides.

Step2: Calculate the scale factor

Count the length of \(LM\) (let's assume it is \(x\) units) and the length of its corresponding side \(FH\) (let's assume it is \(y\) units). The scale factor \(k=\frac{y}{x}\). If \(LM = 3\) units and \(FH=6\) units, then \(k = 2\)

Answer:

Corresponding side: \(FH\), Scale factor: \(2\)
