Question

Find the scale factor from DEF to ABC

Answer 1

Answer:

³/2 (1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

∆DEF was enlarged to get ∆ABC. The scale factor would be:

The ratio of any of the side length of ∆ABC to the corresponding side length of ∆DEF.

Thus,

BC:EF = 12:8

= 12/8

= 3/2 = 1.5

Scale factor from ∆DEF to ∆ABC is ³/2 or 1.5
