It a sqaure dude come on

Jayce Newman · Answer 2

The smaller square has length of 4. So its perimeter is 4*4 = 16

The larger square has length of 8 and its perimeter is 8*4 = 32

The scale factor is 2. Since the larger square is twice the size of the smaller square (Or you can say that the scale factor is 1/2 if you are looking at the perspective of the larger square to the smaller square).
