Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry my links aren't working I don't know why
It's a, because an exponent means it's multiplied by itself that many times. so 3 times 3 is 9 then times 3 again is 27. but negative exponents are always fractions and since the normal number is positive it's D (sorry at first I didn't see d and c)
1/2
If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2
