Answer:

ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG; scale factor 7/3

Explanation:

The ratios of side lengths, shortest to longest are ...

FG : GL : LF = 24 : 36 : 42 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)

MN : NL : LM = 56 : 84 : 98 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)

The side ratios are the same, so ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG. The scale factor is ...

MN/FG = 56/24 = 7/3
