Answer 1

ANSWER

$3\colon5$

EXPLANATION

The polygons given are similar.

To find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure, we have to find the ratio of the side lengths of corresponding sides of the smaller triangle to the larger one.

Therefore, we have that the scale factor is:

$\begin{gathered} 21\colon35 \\ \Rightarrow3\colon5 \end{gathered}$
