A scale factor of 2.
scale factor!
Depends what you mean by the "size" of the figure.To double the linear dimensions of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by 2.To double the area of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by sqrt(2). (1.4142)

if two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the length of 2 corresponding sides is called a scale factor
scale factor
The scale factor that doubles the size of a figure is 2. When a figure is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, all its dimensions—such as length, width, and height—are multiplied by 2, resulting in a figure that has four times the area and eight times the volume of the original.

Scaling will proportionally reduce or enlarge a figure. The amount of scaling is given by the scale factor (greater than zero) If the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced and it is sometimes called a contraction If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged, and it is called a dilation or enlargement. If a centre of enlargement is used, the distance of every point from the centre is multiplied by the scale factor. The scale factor can be negative in which case the distance to the new point is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original point.

The two scale factors are reciprocals of one another.
how do you find the scale factor of two circles
To find the scale factor from figure KLMN to figure PQRS, you can compare the corresponding sides of the two figures. Using KN and PS, the scale factor is calculated as PS/KN = 18 cm / 9 cm = 2. Therefore, the scale factor of figure KLMN to figure PQRS is 2.
A dilation with a scale factor of 0.5 reduces the size of the figure to half its original dimensions, resulting in a smaller figure. In contrast, a dilation with a scale factor of 2 enlarges the figure to twice its original dimensions, creating a larger figure. Therefore, the two dilations produce figures that are similar in shape but differ significantly in size, with the scale factor of 2 yielding a figure that is four times the area of the figure dilated by 0.5.
Each linear dimension is altered by a multiple which is the scale factor.
