Answer:
Second option, scale factor is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that ∠B ≅ ∠E and ∠C ≅ ∠F, therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF by the AA Similarity for Triangles Theorem which states that if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent in two triangles, then those two triangles are similar. To find the scale factor, all we have to do is DF / AC = 5/2 or 2.5.
Is there an article or a text that you have to do this off of??
Answer: 0.72/20; 1.98/20; 17.3/20
0.036 * 10/10 = 0.36/10 * 2/2 = 0.72/20
0.099 * 10/10 = 0.99/10 * 2/2 = 1.98/20
0.865 * 10/10 = 8.65/10 * 2/2 = 17.3/20
multiply the length and with by the scale factor:
24 x 4/3 = 32 feet
20 x 4/3 = 26 2/3 feet
Area is length x width:
32 x 26 2/3 = 853 1/3 square feet.
If i read this correctly it should be $90. 10x5= $50 and that plus $40 equals $90 altogether
