Question

ABC-DEF. what is the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle DEF

Answer 1

in the given triangles the scale factor will be the ratio of the hypotenuse of DEF and the hypotenuse of ABC

so ratio = 30/10 = 3

thus the scale factor is 3

so the value of the sides of ABC is,

x = 27/3

x = 9

y = 18/3

y = 6
