To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
Divide any length of any part of one of the objects to the length of the corresponding part of the other object.

The length on the map that represents 80m with a scale of 1cm to 5m would be 16cm. To find this, divide 80m by 5m to get 16. Then, scale it down to one centimeter.
1cm:15m If 1 cm = 20 m then 6 cm = 120 m real length
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
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.
