Question

1.which side of AFED does AB in AABC correspond to?

Answer 1

Rotate one of them so the right angle is in the same orientation as the other one.

1. AB = DE

2. CB = FE

3. AC = DF

4. Compare the length of two known sides: cb and EF

CB = 3 and EF = 8

8/3 = 2 2/3 scale factor

5. Ab is side de. Multiply the length of ab by the scale factor:

4 x 2 2/3 = 10 2/3

6. FD = sqrt ( 10 2/3^2 + 8^2)

FD = 13 1/3
