Scale Factor Baby Pic

[b][color=#ff0000][size=150]When two similar figures (pre-image and image) have a scale factor of 1, they are congruent (same size, same shape). [/size][/color][/b]
When two similar figures (pre-image and image) have a scale factor of 1, they are congruent (same size, same shape).
[b][size=150][color=#ff0000]When two similar (same shape, different size) figures have a scale factor greater than 1,  resulting image is larger than the preimage.  (Notice that the measurements of the image are divided by the measurements of the pre-image.)  [/color][/size][/b]

When two similar figures have a scale factor less than 1, but greater than 0, the resulting image will be smaller than the pre-image.

When the scale factor is 1.0, what are the length x width measurements of the photo?

Is the image the same, smaller than, or larger than the pre-image?

You work at a print shop. The client wants the original (pre-image) photo to be poster sized (60 x 80). What scale factor will you use?

Now try a scale factor that is less than 1 but greater than 0. What are the l x w measurements of the photo after a scale factor of .5 is applied?

Will the resulting image be larger, smaller or the same as the original photo?
