Question 1136098: A figurine of the Statue of Liberty is 10 inches tall. The height of the Statue of Liberty is 150 feet. What is the scale factor of the dilation if the figurine is the image of the statue? Answer by ikleyn(52784) (Show Source):
The scale factor is the ratio of two similar/corresponding linear measurements, expressed in consistent units.
Use feet for the 10 inches of the figurine and 150 feet for the original statue.
So the scale factor of the dilation (from large to small) is = = 15*12 = 180. ANSWER
