Question

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO. The scale factor from ΔMNOto ΔABCis 3∕2. What's the length of ?

Question 8 options:

A)

4 units

B)

6 units

C)

3∕2 units

D)

1 unit

Answer 1

The length of a side in a similar triangle can be found by multiplying the length of the corresponding side in the other triangle by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3/2. Let's say the length of a side in ΔMNO is x units. To find the length of the corresponding side in ΔABC, we multiply x by the scale factor of 3/2. So, the length of the corresponding side in ΔABC is (3/2) * x = (3x)/2 units. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 3/2 units.
