Question

The scale factor (for similar triangles) can be infinity.

• A. ratio
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

ratio

The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides of the triangles. Theoretically, there is no limit on the scale factor and there can be any ratio between the corresponding sides (not angles) of the similar triangles. Hence, it can tend to infinity (i.e. a very large quantity suitable for astronomical observations).
