Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor of rectangle HIJK to rectangle LMNO is:
"What" multiplied by the area of rectangle HIJK will give us the area of rectangle LMNO?
This "What" is the scale factor. (For area, we will put k^2 in place of "what" and solve for k to get the scale factor. Let's do this:
[tex]135*k^2=375\\k^2=\frac{375}{135}\\k^2=\frac{25}{9}\\k=\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}\\ k=\frac{\sqrt{25} }{\sqrt{9} }\\k=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Correct answer is C.
