1/3 would be greater because
1/3 of 12= 4 while
1/4 of 12 = 3
to check your work you would get a calculator (if possible) and divide 3by 12 or 4 by 12 then if you get .33 (divide 3 by 12 like 3/12) its 1/3. if its .25 (divide 4 by 12 like 4/12) its 1/4
Answer:
S=16×2
S=32
................................
Step-by-step explanation:
such a scale factor applies to all sides and lines.
we see that DE is 12 units, and AB is 4 units.
so,
12×f = 4
f = 4/12 = 1/3 is the scale factor
control : check the other side
FE = 6 units
6 × 1/3 = 2
so, the corresponding side in the small triangle must be 2 units long.
and indeed, CB is 2 units long. all correct.
