To find the scale factor, you need to compare the corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side on the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side on the smaller figure. For example, if the larger figure has a side length of 8 units and the corresponding side on the smaller figure is 2 units, the scale factor would be 8 divided by 2, which equals 4.
A circle is a plane figure. A 'circular' solid figure would be a sphere.

The scale factor
You need information about a pre-image AND and image to work out a scale factor.
The scale factor is the ratio of any side of the image and the corresponding side of the original figure.
The scale factor is the number that the side lengths of one figure can be multiplied by to give the corresponding side lengths of the other figure.
