    The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it’s not scaled in this diagram, it’s squished.

    (Yes I know you can ‘scale’ objects on one axis but that’s usually not how it’s taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram’s ‘scaled’ rectangle.)
