Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. He used a scale factor of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] to draw the new triangle. How does each side of the new triangle compare to the original?


A) Each side of the new triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] the length of each side of the original

B) Each side of the new triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] the length of each side of the original

C) Each side of the new triangle is 4 times the length of each side of the original

D) Each side of the new triangle is 12 times the length of each side of the original
