What is the ratio between sides of two triangles with lengths 6 and 15?

In summary, enlargement is the process of increasing the size of an object while maintaining its proportion, and scale factor is the ratio of the dimensions of the enlarged object to the original object. Scale factor is calculated by dividing the dimensions of the enlarged object by the dimensions of the original object, and it determines the amount by which an object is enlarged. The larger the scale factor, the larger the object will be in comparison to the original object. Scale factor cannot be negative as it is a ratio and a negative scale factor would indicate a flip or reflection of the object.

If a side of one triangle has length 6 and the corresponding side of the larger triangle is 15 then the ratio is 15/6.
