Question

2. The two figures are similar. Write the similarity statement. Consider Triangle 1 to be the pre-image and Triangle 2 to be the image (Hint: What scale factor would you multiply the side lengths of Triangle 1 by to obtain the side lengths in Triangle 2)?

Answer 1

1.66666666667

Explanation:

I have to find the scale factor of the side lengths. This would be 1.66666666667. Why? The side lengths for triangle 1 are: 40 and 50. Triangle 2's side lengths: 24 and 30. Match the lengths, and divide. 50 divided by 30=1.66666666667, and 40 divided by 24=1.66666666667, Hope this helped!
