Geometry scale factor

Unless your teacher requires a complete paragraph of explanation. You'll have to ask how much is expected.
 
Can you please tell us the formula so we can see if you used it correctly. If are unsure which formula, then tell us all the formulas for the section you are in.
Your method is just fine. Did you use the correct formula? I don't know ----yet.

If you're scaling up from a smaller figure to a larger one, plug the lengths into the equation scale factor = larger length over smaller length
 
If you're scaling up from a smaller figure to a larger one, plug the lengths into the equation scale factor = larger length over smaller length
By dividing both sides by 11
55/11 = 5/1
By dividing both sides by 9
45/9 = 5/1
Scale factor = 5:1
 
As I just said in another of your post regarding scales we need to know the exact format you need for a scale factor.
The answer could be 5 or 5/1 or 5:1
You HAVE to tell us what form your teacher/textbook wants the answer in.
After you answer my question we will be able to tell you the factor scale!

A simplifiest form fraction/ratio is fine.
 
Your answer is mathematically correct.

The correct form to get maximum credit would be between you and your class-room instructor.

That is nonsense. You said that each form we gave you is incorrect. If you want help, then please supply us with a form for the answer that your instructor wants else we can't help as we did not know the precise form your instructor wants.

You really do not want to tell us your instructor's form? I just can't imagine why. As a result please stop asking us if your answer is in the correct/wrong form.
