Answer 1

We see that:

AB and JK are corresponding

BC and KL are corresponding

AC and JL are corresponding

So, if we divide the values we would find that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{JK}{AB}=\frac{36}{27}=\frac{4}{3}\text{ (Simplifying)} \\ \frac{KL}{BC}=\frac{49}{36}=\frac{4}{3}\text{ (Simplifying)} \\ \frac{JL}{AC}=\frac{28}{21}=\frac{4}{3}\text{(Simplifying)} \end{gathered}$

Part 1: The scale factor would be 4/3.

Part 2: The ratios would be:

$\frac{JK}{AB}\text{ , }\frac{KL}{BC},\text{ }\frac{JL}{AC}$
