Let

x---------> measure of the base of the triangle of the image

y---------> measure of the base of the triangle of the pre-image

sf-------> the scale factor

we know that

the scale factor is equal to

[tex]sf=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

in this problem we have

[tex]x=6\ units\\y=3\ units[/tex]

Find the scale factor

substitute the values of x and y in the formula above

[tex]sf=\frac{6}{3}=2[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the scale factor is equal to [tex]2[/tex]
