The lengths of the larger square are three times the length of the smaller square. The area of the larger square is nine times as large as the area of the smaller square. The area scale factor is 9.

XY is on the bigger figure, therefore we will be using an enlargement scale factor. \(SF_{Enlargement} = \frac{Big}{Small} = \frac{9}{8}\) Therefore \(XY\) is \(\frac ...
