  5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that one of the sides in the larger triangle has a length that is expressed as a fraction. For simplicity of calculation, we'll choose to use the other side of that triangle, which has an integer length.

The ratio of long sides is ...

  larger : smaller = 5 : 4

The scale factor is 5/4.

Check

  (15/4)/3 = 5/4 . . . . so, the fractional side has the same scale factor, as it should.

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .

cpctc makes it so that corresponding parts of the triangle you proved to be equal are equal, the other options aren't part of the part of the triangles you proved to be equal.
