Answer :

It would have been helpful to have some more detail but the answer would have to be between 2 and 3 inches.

Answer:

Scaling factor  is 2  for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given :  Side of triangle ABC is 5 inch and side of triangle A'B'C' is 10 inch.

We have to Determine the scale factor for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.

Scaling factor is a number that is multiplied by the original value to find the dilation of the figure. If scaling factor is less than 1 then figure decreases from its original  size and if scaling factor is greater than 1 then figure increases from its original size.

Scaling factor = [tex]\frac{new\ side}{original\ side}[/tex]

Given Side of triangle ABC is 5 inch and side of triangle A'B'C' is 10 inch

Scaling factor = [tex]\frac{10}{5}=2[/tex]

Thus, Scaling factor  is 2 for triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.
